This easy walk gently winds through subalpine grasslands and scrub to the Mueller Glacier Moraine Wall. The walk ends at a viewing deck with stunning views of Mt Sefton, The Footstool, Hooker Valley, Mueller Glacier Lake and Aoraki Mount Cook. This is a safe place from which to watch avalanches in Winter and Spring. We bring our lunch and settle in for some avalanche action.
