Karioi, Volcanic summit near Raglan, New Zealand
Mount Karioi rises to 756 meters above sea level, offering views of Mount Taranaki, the Herangi Range, and Pureora from its peak position.
The volcanic formation of Karioi occurred between 2.6 and 2.3 million years ago, making it one of the earliest volcanoes in the North Island sequence.
The mountain holds significance in Māori traditions, where Rakatāura established a sacred altar near the summit, leading to the naming of Karioi.
The Department of Conservation maintains several tracks to the summit, with access remaining free for visitors throughout the year.
Te Toto Gorge at Karioi contains fifteen distinct lava flows and preserves evidence of traditional Māori stone gardens within its cliffs.
