'''State Highway 80''' is a [[South Island]] [[New Zealand State Highway network|State Highway]] in [[New Zealand]]. Known as ''Mount Cook Road'', it is a tourist road between the settlements of [[Twizel, New Zealand|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, New Zealand|Queenstown]] often deviate here and travel to New Zealand's highest mountain [[Aoraki/Mount Cook]]. |

Since designation, this is the route SH 80 takes. |
|||
For the first 31 km of the road, SH 80 runs in a northerly direction parallel with the banks of [[Lake Pukaki]] to the right and the [[Mackenzie Basin]] to the left. About 10 kilometres along the road, the basin is superseded by the [[Ben Ohau Range]]. After a further 20 kilometres, the road passes the head of Lake Pukaki where it changes name to the [[Tasman River]]. The highway eventually terminates just east of Mount Cook Village after a further 24 kilometres. |
