Maungatautari lies majestic on the
landscape in the middle of the Waikato,
flanked by the towns of Cambridge, Te
Awamutu and Putaruru. Lake Karapiro can
be seen from the northern entrance to
the mountain, while from Pukeatua, the
southern peak, the Kaimai Range,
Pirongia, Pureora Forest Park and Karioi
are visible on a clear day.
