Over 300 million years ago the earth convulsed and created
what is
today the Mount Cook National Park. One of the
wonders of the world you can drive your camper van close to enjoy.
Mount Cook is New Zealand's highest mountain at
3754 metres elevation with the Southern Alps being thrust up at the
rate of 25mm a year.
Take a look around the Hermitage Hotel. It has been one of the
country's top accommodations for over 100 years.
At the Mount Cook Village you might want to catch a boat to explore New
Zealand's largest glacier. Talk about
photo opportunities! website
You can also drive almost up to the base of the Tasman Glacier
on the
Tasman Valley Road.
Stay the night at White Horse Hill a DOC camp. The turnoff

A drive back out next
morning takes you to Route 8 and more
fabulous scenery through the Mackenzie Country
