Mt Cook and Hooker Valley




We finished our Active New Zealand tour by staying two nights at a sheep shearing station. It was simple accommodations but a gorgeous view of a lake with Mt. Cook in the background. Here is a pic of Anne playing Maria von Trapp in the alps. We took a hike the next day through Hooker Valley, which is at the foot of Mt. Cook. Some of our braver boys in the group hiked up one of the glaciers. Here are a couple of shots of Hooker Valley. One is of glacier pieces floating around in the lake. Today we said goodbye to our group will spend another couple of days at Christchurch on our own. FYI, the link for Active New Zealand is: http://www.activenewzealand.com/
