Sometimes snow covered in winter, it is often cold with views of Mt Ruapehu on one side and the Kaimanawa Ranges on the other. Surrounding nearby land is pumice sand and tussock wasteland known as the Rangipo Desert.
Further along the highway is the Army land where the boys in uniform play with their toys.
