The scenery near Mount Cook in Westland National Park on the South Island of New Zealand is picturesque during the summer months. As the water trickles over the rocks, the remaining area is highlighted by the new green growth.

A small waterway makes its way amongst the scenery of the lush green landscape in Westland National Park on the South Island of New Zealand. A haze still lingers in the area on this summer day as the peak of Mount Cook creates a beautiful backdrop.

Westland National Park covers an area of 70,696 hectares with Mount Cook standing at 12,316 feet where low laying clouds snuggle in against the mountain slopes. Tourists to Westland National Park will find glaciers, lakes, small streams and rivers, rainforests and a variety of bird species. Summer months can be extremely hot and humid, so one should be ensured to bring the proper clothing and protection.
