The trail
Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park
Join the Sealy Tarns branch from Kea Point Track. Around 2,200 steps climb to the tarns, with views into the Hooker Valley. DOC lists the ascent and walking time rather than a route distance.
Before you go
- There is no shelter on the ascent. Turn back if the weather deteriorates.
- Snow and ice can make the steps hazardous. Continuing to Mueller Hut is a separate alpine route.
