Arthurs Pass connects
the east and west coasts of the South Island. Located in the Pass is Arthurs
Pass National Park which has an incredible diversity of flora and landscape
ranging from eastern beech clad hills and tussock valleys to the luxuriant
rain forest in the west.
Highway 73 runs through the park, giving easy access to the alpine zone. The highest mountains have glaciers and surrounding them are tussock basins, flowering herbs, and alpine grasses.
Arthur's Pass township, a hamlet about 5 km south of the pass, is a popular base for exploring. Its elevation is 740 metres above sea level and is surrounded by beech forest.
