Mount Cook National Park is about 60 minutes drive from Shepherd's Church, all the way west, turn right at the T-junction at the source of Lake Pukaki, and then walk all the way along the blue Pukaki Lake in the silver beech forest, this area is a world heritage area in southwest New Zealand. Composed of Westland National Park, Yaspering Mountain National Park, and Fjord National Park, the end of the road is the Cook National Park Camp, the beauty of the road is like a large scene. There are five best short trails, the Governor’s Jungle Trail, the Bowen Jungle Trail, the Glencoe Trail, the Antelope Cape Trail, and the Hooke Valley Trail, all of which are from the Cook Hill village and have beautiful and pleasant views. The most popular in the park is the Hook Valley Trail. First, the Hook Valley Trail is long compared to the other four trails. It takes about 3 to 4 hours to travel, which is more challenging. Second, the strange stone on the way, the meadow is dense, and the background of the three suspension bridges as a background for taking pictures is also the fun of this trip. 1. The starting point of the trail is next to the Baima Mountain Campground. The view is wide. Originally this place was a villa hotel. In 1913, it was destroyed by a mountain flood. Now you can see some relics. In 1957, the rebuilt hotel was relocated 2 kilometers away from the plain area. Looking around, it was full of shrubs and jungles. Through the "Luohan Song Arch", that is, the 9 km of the Hook Valley trail walk, the trail road is flat, rugged and complicated alpine meadows are also paved with wooden roads, summer season, the mountains are full of daisies, firefly grass and lily-like alpine hair, beautiful. The trail has a memorial to the victims of the first mountaineering accident. It is near the former site of the Heights of the Hook Valley Trail. The inscription records that three climbers died in an avalanche in 1914, when only one body was found, but 12 years later, due to glacier melting, The second body was found at the bottom of HochstetterLcefall, 2,000 meters below the place where the team was buried at the time, which shows how fast the glacier is moving. The more you go to the mountain, the temperature is getting lower and lower. There are also gravel landslides on the mountainside. The traces of the meadow vegetation are vaguely visible. Finally, you can reach the lake. There is an observation deck halfway up the mountain. The wooden seats are simple. The next step is the shore of Lake Hook. The glacier cross section, the ice blue fault, The blue light was shining. There was also a boulder attraction on the trail, with a photo showing her as the world's first woman to successfully climb Mount Cook, and after she climbed the boulder, Freda left her in a short skirt and a trekking pole.

    The weather in Mount Cook is very good, but at that time, I booked a snow plane. The helicopter return activity was cancelled due to the poor weather on the mountain. It was a pity for two consecutive days. I drove from the Tweizer base to the airport under the snow mountain to ask and wait. By the way, I took the shortest walking route and the scenery was not bad.

    Go to Mount Cook National Park, 22 of the 27 mountains in New Zealand that are more than 3,050 meters high, are in Mount Cook National Park. Among the more spectacular is Mount Cook, which is 3,755 meters high and is called by Maori people "Oracchi", meaning "Mount Cloud."

    The scenery is beautiful and the humanistic landscape is beautiful. We are on the 11th tour of New Zealand's North and South Island on November 30. The enemy tour guide is very professional, answer all questions, and enthusiastically serve every tourist, eat and sleep, introduce attractions, and serve in place.

    The magnificent snow mountain, it is said that it takes 1.5 hours from the beginning to the end. It is not finished. The scenery is beautiful and the snow mountain is in front of you. Accommodation is on the mountain, but there are no supermarkets around, restaurants on the mountain are limited, and some are very expensive. If you book a hotel with a kitchen, it is strongly recommended to buy it yourself. We booked a hotel, many tourists bring things up the mountain.

    Mount Cook, Oceania's highest peak, snowy year-round. The slightly rainy helicopter flew over the Tasman glacier and failed to do so. He chose Kea Point to hike through the stone road and jungle, and the trail ends at Mueller Glacier Lake, which also sees the glacier up close. Living in the Hermitage Hotel, as low-key as the name "hermit", will be shocked by the magnificent beauty of Mount Cook in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

    Mount Cook can be regarded as the most magnificent of all the peaks in New Zealand, so we chose Mount Cook for the first stop before the trip. There are countless beautiful scenery in New Zealand. People who have seen the Raiders will definitely be full of unlimited yearning, and there will be an urge to go. Although we are not very smooth in language, and we are not very familiar with the road conditions, we still want to choose self-driving, I feel that New Zealand is still relatively safe, we have made the certification of the driver's license in advance online, if you choose to drive, this is a must, self-driving tour is more tired, You need to be optimistic about the route in advance and do some certifications, so this way of playing is more suitable for young people, and the elderly are a bit tossing, so if you take the elderly and children, it is more suitable for group tours. If you are with the group tour, there will be Mount Cook in the itinerary, so you don’t have to worry about missing the scenery. Therefore, you can consider according to your own situation. The time of Cook Mountain is about 3 hours. Friends who love to take pictures can take pictures again for longer. Unlike the famous domestic attractions, the tickets for Cook Mountain are free. Therefore, you don’t need to worry about the problem of abandoning the attractions because of the high tickets. If you travel by car, the cost of a day trip is about 2,000 yuan, excluding hotels. You can choose the surrounding attractions to match a day trip. If you hold a group day trip, it is almost 2,500 yuan. Although the scenic spot is free, if you stay in the surrounding area, it will be a relatively large consumption. In fact, I don’t have so many requirements for the accommodation conditions, but I feel that if you must live in a scenery room in Mount Cook, you can achieve the effect of relaxation in your heart. Of course, the better the scenery, the closer the location, the higher the price, but the price of accommodation near Mount Cook is really good value for money, the room around 1500 is relatively moderate, the facilities are also very perfect, this is also the reason for our choice of self-driving tour, It's your choice to go anywhere you want to live. The scenery of Mount Cook is charming and the conditions nearby are good, but there is a little regret for me, that is, I have some local Western food that I am not used to, so sometimes I can only rely on instant noodles to fill my stomach, so everyone can prepare their favorite snacks in advance. It is best to wear sportswear to visit Mount Cook for activities.
