Tramping on the Hooker Track



Tramping is the Kiwi word for hiking. We went up the Hooker Valley to the Hooker Glacier. At the glacier we had a picnic lunch and skipped rocks on the glacier lake. It was a beautiful sunny day. We had clear views of New Zealand's tallest peak, Mount Cook. After a nice hike we went to a film at the Sir Edmund Hillary Alpine Center. Sir Hillary was the first to ascent Mount Everest and used Mount Cook as a training ground. The museum was also fun to see. We had an afternoon snack at the Panorama Cafe and soaked in the sun on a beautiful day in New Zealand.
