点评:One of the popular places to visit in the Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park is the Blue Lakes and Tasman Glacier area at the end of Tasman Valley Road. There is a sizeable car park for day visitors, public toilets and public shelter along with trailheads for several short walks to see the Blue Lakes as well as the Tasman Glacier lake including an elevated viewpoint location, jetty and river location at the south end of the lake.
The walks are fairly easy and short, making them accessible for most with the most basic of footwear and walking abilities. The walk up to the main viewpoint includes a decent ascend of around 100 metres. Views of the powder blue lake and receding glacier in the distance, moraine banks and snow-capped mountains are very rewarding. You will probably see flowing icebergs in the lake as well.
The trail to the river is particularly rewarding. At the end of the trail you can walk down to the shoreline and see the lake and floating icebergs up close. All is rather beautiful here. We have enjoyed stopping here for longer stays and enjoying packed lunch and snacks during visits in the past as well as recently. The location is beautiful and peaceful worth making time to see during visits to the National Park.
翻译:在奥拉基/库克山国家公园里,最受欢迎的游览地之一就是塔斯曼谷路尽头的蓝湖与塔斯曼冰川区域。这里设有供一日游游客使用的宽敞停车场、公共厕所和避雨棚,还有多条短途步行道的起点,游客可由此欣赏蓝湖以及塔斯曼冰川湖的景致。在湖的南端还有一个高台观景点、码头以及河边步道。
这些步行道难度不高且距离较短。这些路线对于大多数只需要最基础的鞋具且具备基本行走能力的人来说都容易抵达。通往主要观景点的路段有约100米的爬升,但沿途的景色绝对值得一看:天蓝色的湖面、远处逐渐消融的冰川、冰川堆积物以及白雪覆盖的山峰。你很可能还会看到湖面上有漂浮的冰山呢。
通往河流的步道同样值得一走。沿着小径走到尽头后,便可走到湖岸边,近距离观赏湖泊以及漂浮的冰山。这里的景色实在美不胜收。以往以及最近几次造访时,我们都乐意在此稍作停留,享用随身携带的午餐和零食。此地风景优美且宁静祥和,绝对值得在游览国家公园时专门抽空前来观赏。
