We climbed Mount Taupiri on a clear and sunny day, which gave us great views of the Waikato region and river at the top. We took the second track on the road which was meant to be the 1km slightly shorter trek to the top. This is a true hill climb, basically going straight up and while the track is while worn it has had not upgrades and was difficult at times being steep and slippery. Great fun and my 4 and 5 year old did make it to the top so it wasn't impossible but was a big ask for the 4 year old and they were very tired for the rest of the day :)
