The national park is home to the country’s highest peaks and longest glaciers, where alpine landscapes unfold in every direction — from turquoise glacial lakes and braided rivers to rugged trails that lead you deep into the heart of the Southern Alps. Whether you’re here to hike, stargaze beneath some of the darkest skies in the world, or simply stand still and take it all in, Aoraki/Mount Cook has a quiet way of reminding you how small you are — and how special this place really is. </paragraph> <gap-large/> <list> <item key="Location">Mackenzie</item> <item key="Distance From CHC Airport">4 hrs 30 mins</item> </list>
