Here is the other postcard picture from the Mount Cook region, that road creating a leading line to Mount Sefton. This is often thought to be Mount Cook itself; it is not.

Photography Tips

Once again you will need to stand in the middle of the road, so watch your back or have a friend do the same. PLEASE BE CAREFUL. You will want to use a telephoto lens to bring the mountain closer.

Travel Information

Take Mount Cook Rd almost to the village itself and before taking that left turn you will see the mountain straight down the middle of the road. There are plenty of pullouts to park the car and get the shot.
