| The bus ride to Mt. Cook took forever.� It was beautiful, though.� We finally arrived around 4:40 and I got checked into my room.� I walked to the visitor's center and picked up a map of the hiking trails around the park. |
| I decided to hike to a lookout point about 5km from the hostel.� It was a great walk. Snow was everywhere!� I could see several patches that looked like the remains of avalanches.� I finally got to the lookout point.� It was gorgeous.� Right behind me in this picture you can see the ridges left in the land by the receding glaciers.� |
| Above is one of those glaciers.� I can't remember the name of it, though.� I have a lot more pictures of the Mt. Cook area, but they aren't developed yet.� I'll add more when I get them. |
