The beautiful views of the Hooker Valley Track are so special. Winter is the best time of year to go for snow capped peaks and an adventurous walk to the glacier.

More Tips on Mount Cook from Travelers
Mount Cook
- On our 3.5 hour drive to Mt Cook, we were surrounded by rain clouds and fog with poor visibility. We considered many times to turn around rather than waste the time driving there if we weren’t going to see anything - we had heard it was unseeable when the weather gets bad, but this was our last day in New Zealand if we were going to see it. We decided to persevere and kept driving, keeping faith that it would clear up. Only within the last 2kms of driving, it did, the sun came out the clouds cleared. It was so worth it. What a mountain. Always keep the faith.

Mount Cook
- Watching this sunset was one of the best experiences of my life - we did the Mt Cook walk in the late evening hoping to get Mt Cook for sunset. It was raining all day and all afternoon, but we set out anyway not expecting to even be able to see it. The clouds started to clear just as the sun moved behind the mountain ranges and was almost totally clear while the pinks were out. So glad that we made the decision to go anyway, mother nature had our back.

Mount Cook
- I’ve spent the last 10 months in New Zealand and believe me, the South Island is one of the most craziest thing you will ever see. As we were driving to Mt. Cook (highest summit in NZ) we had to drive along this more than scenic road. First you’ll drive by Lake Pukaki and his blue water coming from the glacier, then every turn, every inch of this road will make you stop and enjoy life as it is. Please, go to New Zealand, you won’t regret it.

Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park
- A recent trip to New Zealand has really put how small I am into perspective. This photo was taken halfway up the Mueller hut hike in Mount cook national park. i noticed the small mass of water and the early morning sun so I stopped put my camera on remote timer and ran to the other side. This is how it turned out.

- I hiked up to the Red Tarns one morning. It was a stunning day with no wind in winter. Just devine. The Red Tarns are a lesser known part of the area near Mt Cook Village, with Sealey tarns being more popular. These are by far the best! Littleleafcreative.com
