Mt Cook & Walk To Kea Point

Today we drove to Mt Cook, NZ's highest mountain, and once again fortunate with the weather. Beautiful blue skies meant we had great views of the mountain as we drove up the approach road.




Once we got to the Hermitage Hotel (the main resort in the township) we decided to do the walk to Kea Point which took us across the bush towards the mountains.




At the end of the walk we had great views to Mt Cook across the Mueller glacier lake.





And to the left Mt Sefton and Mt Footstool with the Mueller glacier.





The view back down the valley to the Hermitage hotel. Unfortunately no sighting of the cheeky kea birds.
