The tallest mountain in New Zealand, but no, I wasn't due to climb it, this wasn't even an over night tramp, just a leisurely day hike into the valley leading up to the mountain and to see the glacial lakes on the way. It was a glorious day - far too hot to be tramping with a big pack on ones back, but not quite warm enouhg to have melted the last iceberg floating inthe lake below the mountain. Even the mountain was happy that the sun was out - you would be able to see his smile but I am unable to load any photos at this time - again! We drove out of the valley leading to Mt Cook but camped at the entrance to the valley by the side of a lake and watched the most amazing sunset over the lake and the mountain (I have some great photos - honest) and awoke to yet more blue skies and a great view over the valley - not a bad spot for a free campsite.
