Few locations on earth are as beautiful as the mountainous valley leading up to Mount Cooke village. Located inside Mount Cooke National Park, Mount Cooke Village is at the base of New Zealand’s tallest mountain, Mount Cooke itself. The area is surrounded by snow capped peaks and glacial valleys. Tasman Lake creates one edge of the valley formed by the retreating Tasman Glacier. While hiking to the glacier from a nearby lookout, I turned around to see a low hanging rainbow framing this incredible landscape.
