No right-of-way at Ketetahi
In 1887 the Paramount Chief of the Tuwharetoa people-Te Heuheu Tukino IV - donated the mountain peaks of Tongariro, Ngauruhoe and Ruapehu to the nation. This 'gift' was thegenesis of theTongariro National Park and the first of its kind ever made by an indigenous people. Since that time visitors have benefited from that act by walking the 'Tongariro Crossing'. The crossing passes over the Ketetahi block which contains the culturally significant area known as the Ketetahi Springs. The
block, including the springs, is private land administered by the Ketetahi Trust for the beneficial owners. The Ketetahi Trust has agreed to allow the use of the track over their land as signposted en-route. Note, however, there is no right of access to the Ketetahi Springs specifically. * The Ketetahi Trust and the Department of Conservation require visitors to respect this constraint so as not to prejudice the outcome of negotiations regarding public access to Ketetahi and the Springs area.
