A gorgeous place like Mt. Cook has not surprisingly drawn tourists, climbers and trampers for years and years. I got a kick out of the historical photographs in the Aoraki/Mt. Cook Visitors' Center -- news of people reaching the summit of the 3,755 meter peak, images of the old Hermitage Hotel constructed in 1884...
It is fun to compare a photo of visitors with their mode of transportation in 1896 and one today as Wendy and I were spirited up the mountain valley in a bus driven and narrated by experienced Great Sights host Brian! It was a breathlessly scenic, exciting trip.
