The Hunter Mountains of Manapouri
The mountains further south opposite Manapouri are the Hunter Mountains, famous for their soaring peak Mount Titiroa, (1,715m), a mountain that looks like it's got snow on it all year round. It hasn't; it's flanks are covered in beach-like sand and towering white granite boulders. This incredible geological marvel is a mecca for adventurous trampers on off-track expeditions.
