Video Description:

A few days after Christmas, we headed up to Mount Cook/Aoraki National Park for the weekend to do some walking, hiking, and exploring. On a drive out to Tasman Lake, we stopped at a roadside pulloff to try to capture the awesome valley with the drone. The terrain in the Mount Cook National Park is really incredible and in the video you can see how flat the valley floor is and the mountains seem to rise straight out of the valley. 

The New Zealand Christmas and holidays was a big change from being at home in Canada, but, besides not being with family and friends, I wasn’t complaining too much about the warm and sunny weather. It doesn’t quite feel like Christmas without the cold and snow, but it’s a totally different experience to be out hiking in shorts and camping.
