The Main Trunk and National Park. Told By the Camera. The Chateau, Tongariro National Park, North Island, New Zealand. (Rly. Publicity photo.) Mt. Ngauruhoe (7,515 ft.) seen through the window at the Chateau. Justly famous is the Finest Walk in the World (to Milford Sound). At the Chateau Tongariro is the Finest Window in the World, framing Ngauruhoe, New Zealand's Fuji Yama. All that the sacred mountains of other countries offer in sublimity, and all the might and magic inherent in a live breathing volcano, are here found. The great Ruapehu-Tongariro mountain mass, snow-crowned, mother of rivers that run north, south, and to all points of the compass, is the heart of the North Island. The railway has brought the Tongariro National Park within a few hours of the average North Islander's home.
