Key Highlights
Although it includes 23peaks over 3000metres high,this park is very accessible.State Highway 80leads to Mt Cook Village which is situated beside scenic Lake Pukaki and provides a comfortable base for alpine activities.Far from city lights,the stargazing here is magnificent--Aoraki Mount Cook National Park forms the majority of New Zealand's only International Dark Sky Reserve.
Mountaineers regard the area to be the best climbing region,while less skilled adventurers find plenty of satisfaction with the mountain walks that lead to alpine tarns,herb fields and spectacular glacier views.Encounters (遇到) with cheeky kea (mountain parrots) are part of the fun.
Key Activities
Mountain walks
There are 10short walks beginning near the village.All tracks are formed and well marked.The Red Tarns Track,Kea Point and the Hooker Valley Track each take around two hours return.For more experienced alpine hikers,there are three mountain pass routes--over the Mueller,Copland and Ball passes.
Glacier viewing and skiing
Helicopters and ski-planes provide access to the park's fabulous glaciers.The Tasman Glacier is an excellent choice for intermediate skiers,while the Murchison,Darwin and Bonney glaciers promise excitement for advanced skiers.From October until May,you can explore the Tasman Glacier's terminal lake by boat.
Mountaineering
Climbing Mount Cook remains the ultimate challenge,but there are many other peaks to tempt experienced climbers.Tasman,Malte Brun,Elie de Beaumont,Sefton and La Perouse are local favourites.
Key Tips
•Climbers don't require permits,but are requested to complete a trip intentions form.
•Local guides are available for climbing,walking and glacier skiing.
•Winter climbing is an extreme sport--only recommended for well-prepared,experienced mountaineers.

2.The associates I hired in my bicycle and lawn mower shop like myself were never perfect; however,they were excellent.Working with them as they improved taught me new ways to show forgiveness,understanding,and patience.

It was raining.Some of my workers (without physical limitations) chose not to brave the weather to get into work,so I was short-handed.It seemed everything was going wrong and on top of it,David came in the front door and just stood there.I looked at him and shouted,"Well,all right!Fill out a time card and help me unload this truck!"
David worked for my bicycle shop for eighteen years.He came to work every day thirty minutes early.He could talk; however,he rarely chose to.He drove my truck and made deliveries.The customers would praise David,saying,"He doesn't talk,but he really shows you how to operate a lawn mower!"
