  • The Putangirua Pinnacles were featured as the Dimholt Road in the "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" motion picture. When ocean levels were much higher 7 to 9 million years ago, the Aorangi Ranges were an island which deposited large alluvial fans at the seashore. Conglomerate rock formed in layers. Erosion over the past several thousand years created a badlands of earth pillars (or hoodoos) at the head of this valley in the Aorangi Ranges.

  • The Glenorchy-Paradise Road crosses several streams like this in the Dart Valley north of Paradise. We set up a 2-car shuttle to do the Rees-Dart Track. In 5 days, we tramped the strenuous Rees-Dart Track for 39 miles plus 12.5 miles side trip to spectacular Cascade Saddle, in Mount Aspiring National Park, Otago region, South Island of New Zealand. The “Lord of the Rings” (2001, 2002, 2003) film location for Saruman’s tower at Isengard was near here, along the Glenorchy-Paradise Road in the Dart Valley.

  • Mount Saint Helens National Volcanic Monument, Skamania County, Washington, USA: Spirit Lake is covered with floating logs from a forest blasted and avalanched by the May 18, 1980 eruption, the most deadly and destructive volcanic event in the history of the United States. The debris avalanche, the largest in recorded history, shrank the mountain from 9677 feet (2950 m) elevation to 8364 feet (2550 m), leaving a mile-wide horseshoe-shaped crater.  Fifty-seven people were killed. 250 homes, 47 bridges, 15 miles of railways, and 185 miles of highway were destroyed. The active stratovolcano of Mount Saint Helens is one of 160 active volcanoes that comprise the Pacific Ring of Fire.  Mount St. Helens, part of the Cascade Range, takes its English name from the British diplomat Lord St Helens, who was a friend of George Vancouver, an explorer who surveyed the area in the late 18th century.
