Mount Aspiring National Park occupies a large section of the Southern Alps in New Zealand’s South Island, extending across remote mountain country between Wānaka, Glenorchy, and the Haast Pass area. Covering more than 350,000 hectares, the park contains high peaks, glacial valleys, rivers, forests, alpine lakes, and extensive wilderness.
Seaside is a coastal city on Oregon’s northern Pacific shore, set between the ocean, the Necanicum River, and the wooded foothills of the Coast Range. Its broad sandy beach and compact oceanfront district have made it one of the state’s best-known coastal communities. The Promenade, a paved oceanfront walkway, follows the beach through the center of town and provides access to shops, restaurants, and public spaces.
