Kea Point Track
Kea Point
An easy track departing from Mount Cook Village, taking about 1–2 hours return. The viewing platform at the end faces Mueller Glacier Lake, Mount Cook and Mount Sefton.
The Kea Point Track starts from the White Horse Hill campground or the Hermitage Hotel, and takes about 1–2 hours return. It follows a gentle slope through alpine meadows to a viewing platform on the lateral moraine of the Mueller Glacier. From the platform, you can look over the murky Mueller Lake and the glacier hanging from Mount Sefton. On clear days, the main summit of Mount Cook is clearly visible. The track is easy, suitable for the elderly and children, but it is windy and exposed, so bring warm clothing. Admission is free.
