Glaciers, snow-capped mountains, and canyons in New Zealand are all on this road!

If you want to see ✅ New Zealand's snow-capped mountains, glaciers, and canyons in one go, ✨ Hooker Valley Track is probably the best choice. 🚗 About 3.5 hours' drive from Queenstown 🚗 About 2 hours' drive from Lake Tekapo 🕘 The entire hiking trail is about 4-5 km one way, and the official reference time is 1.5 hours. Including the time for rest and taking photos, it takes about 4 hours. The road is flat, and many people even bring their children to play. · 🌦️ However, the weather near the glacier is very unstable, and it often rains. We went there three times and barely encountered a sunny day. ✅ You can check the weather forecast (the weather forecast on the Hooker Valley Track official website is more accurate) ✅ You can go to Mt Cook Alpine Salmon Shop to observe the weather. If there are dark clouds in the distance and you can't see the snow-capped mountains, it is basically raining. We checked the weather forecast and expected it to clear up at 8 or 9 am, so we rushed over before dawn (our flight was in the afternoon). · 🗺️ The hiking trail passes through three suspension bridges, mountains, canyons, and rivers, and ends at Mueller Lake 🏔️. You can see blue glaciers even on cloudy days, and there should be a lot of ice on the lake in winter and spring. · In fact, there are 2⃣️ trails in Mount Cook, and the other one is to see ✨ Tasman Lake, which takes about half an hour one way. There are many ice blocks floating on the lake, but it is said that they basically melt in summer. Unexpectedly, there are also glaciers at the end of Hooker. But it is relatively far away. · When you come out of the trail, the scenery along the way is very beautiful. Photo 4 is the iconic location 📸 Peter's Lookout. There is also a 🌸 lavender farm worth visiting.
