This is an amazing hike but you must earn it. There are some 2000 steps to the tarn (little lake). If you have the legs continue on to the Mueller Hut. This hike gives amazing views of Mount Cook and surrounding peaks, the glacier and moraine lake. The scenery is stunning!
Weather in this region can change rapidly; dress accordingly.

Photography Tips

Pack light; it is steep. There is a lot of snow so remember to get the exposure correct.
