A wonderful hike along the Laughton Glacier Trail, up in the mountains near Skagway Alaska. HIghly recommended if you enjoy rushing glacial streams, boreal forests, meadows in bloom, and amazing mountain and glacier views
See my "Alaska!" set for more shots of this beautiful area. More to come....

The South Island of New Zealand has rugged beauty in so many forms. Milford Sound is really a glacier-carved fjord that is a part of Fiordland National Park, Piopiotahi Marine Reserve, and the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage site. The waters flow into the Tasman Sea.
A boat cruise up the Sound delights the eye with rugged mountains rising straight up from the pristine blue waters, cascading waterfalls that drop over 1000 meters, and glimpses of penguins and seals, all of which evoke a true sense of wonder. We were lucky enough to visit on a sunny day--- less waterfall flow, but more sparkling waters.
Here is a link to my penguin shot from within Milford Sound

Mt Cook behaves a lot like Denali-- it creates its own microclimate, and only shows itself when the mood strikes. At 3724 meters tall, (New Zealand's tallest mountain) it can certainly do all of that.
We traveled to the Aoraki Mount Cook National Park, but the mountain was shrouded in clouds the evening we arrived. The next morning, it was hidden in fog and snow showers. BUT, as we traveled away from the area, the clouds broke, and we had the chance to see Mt Cook in all its glory.
