State Highway 80 (SH 80) is a South Island state highway in New Zealand. Known as Mount Cook Road, it is a road which is a popular tourist route between the settlements of Twizel and Mount Cook Village. About 55 kilometres in length, it is mostly two lane, with a few single-lane bridges. Tourists travelling between Christchurch and Queenstown often deviate here and travel to New Zealand's highest mountain Aoraki / Mount Cook.
