    MOUNT COOK – glaciers and glacier lakes Topo50 Maps: BX15 Fox Glacier GPS: NZTM on WGS84 How to get to START – Hooker Track and Glacier First of all ensure you are on the South Island Mount Cook Village is reached via SH80 which goes virtually due North when SH8 turns to the East just north of Twizel almost halfway between Queenstown and Christchurch. A small, sign-posted gravel road branches off to the north east near the end of the asphalt road just before Mount Cook Village – follow this road to the end and park in the car park (WP01). The tramping route is the red line on the left hand side of the map opposite whilst the gravel road is shown in blue coming out of Mount Cook Village Rough Description: The whole walk from the car park (WP993) to the edge of the Hooker Glacial Lake (WP07) and back takes less than 4 hours. On the way one passes the Mount Cook Memorial (M), the Mueller Glacial Lake and the Stocking Stream Shelter. This is an easy walk but there are one or two slightly tricky bits over rock outcrops to Blue lines are motorable roads and red lines are walks. negotiate. A secondary walk of 20 minutes can later be taken to the edge of the Tasman Glacier lake. Detail: From the car park (WP01743masl) follow the sign-posted manicured track past the DOC toilets in an eastwardly direction. This track is lined with the spiky plant Mataguri so avoid close encounters. Within minutes the access branch to the Mount Cook Memorial (WPM782masl) goes off left – this is worth checking as it is a reminder that Mount Cook must be treated with respect.
