Come join me on this amazing must do NZ walk in the heart of Mount Cook Village!
I've been wanting to do some Mount Cook Village walks for the past few years, so it was nice this past winter to get down to Aoraki Mount Cook National Park and start exploring some of the amazing day hikes for myself.
And what better introduction to have than the Kea Point Track, a short 1 hour return track to an expansive viewpoint across Mueller Lake towards the main event, Aoraki Mount Cook itself!
Something I wasn't expecting, though, was the avalanche activity in this region! Whilst I was on the track there were no fewer than 3 avalanches off the face of nearby Mt Sefton. The crazy avalanche conditions this year have meant that avalanches have been occurring in alpine regions at a much higher rate, but luckily there was no danger to me on the Kea Point Track!
This was such a great introduction to the Mount Cook New Zealand winter, and definitely one of the Best Walks on New Zealand's South Island that I've experienced so far!
