To the great disappointment of Tyler and Baihley, my younger siblings, I have never seen the Lord of the Rings. My uncle has tried to get me to read The Hobbit, but I couldn't make it through. With all that said, Mt. Cook plays a big role in LOTR and the newest movie The Hobbit. If you are a LOTR fan, the opening sequence of Two Towers takes places at the base of this mountain. I have no idea what the opening sequence is...but that is what the map said.
Spending only one night at the foot of this mountain did not allow near enough time for the splendor to reveal itself. We arrived in very foggy conditions and left in rainy. The pictures are not the best but it was all that we got.
After a good night's rest, we headed off for a hike. I loved walking and being surrounded by rugged terrain. Everything seemed to be covered in moss and the morning's dew.
A sad ending to our hike included finding this little guy.
