on a clear day... by professormeg

I saw Mt. Cook on a clear day. Absolutely breathtaking. I was only 8 at the time, so I’d love to go back, even if it’s cloudy.

Definately worth the trip!

I was blown away by how different it was from any landscape i had seen before (I had never seen a glacier before). But then, after i had taken that feeling in and was sitting on the steps of the Hermitage, i was approached by some retired folks from America- turns out they lived w/in 5 miles of my home town!

Great place for climbing, ski or simply enjoy what nature has to offer to us.

I’ll definitely go back again.

Aoraki at Sunrise by Travelling Life

I’ve heard so many people tell of disappointing and uneventful trips to the Mt Cook region where the great mountain has been under heavy mists and views have been limited to a mere glimpse of the white peak if at all.

Our hopes were renewed as we drove around the first corner and saw the soaring view of Mt Cook and its surrounding mountains clear in view. The clouds were drifting aimlessly in the blue skies above but not inhibiting on the snowy peaks. My speedo soared to unquestionable heights as we raced towards the mountain in fear that by the time we reached Mt Cook, Clouds would have overshadowed its peak.

We were delighted to find the mountain views were never lost in clouds, nor were we deprived of seeing the sun set light up the mountain like a pink neon light at dusk. There was no comparison for such a view! The most spectacular view of all however was sunrise at 5:30 as the sun peaked over Mt Cook, it lit up the snowy range in an array of colours and caused deep shadows to crease the grounds below, it was a beautiful and completely unparralled experience.
