Though climbing a mountain and not standing on its peak would be alright, and it is not illegal to climb Mount Ngauruhoe, I decided to show respect to the sacred land and not attempt to climb it. It\u2019s tempting for the Lord of the Rings fans to reenact the struggle of Frodo\u2019s and Sam\u2019s climb onto Mt Doom to cast the Ring into the fire, but let\u2019s respect the local culture

A campsite was established here in 1894 for weary travelers and coach horses. With increasing tourism in Tongariro, the hut was constructed in 1904, commissioned by the Tourist and Health Resorts Department. Waihohonu Hut was a popular base for alpine skiers in the 1910s, until the focus moved to Whakapapa as skiing grew more popular. For a few years, the hut also became living quarters for seasonal shearers from nearby sheep
