An Overnight Hike to Mueller Hut | Mount Cook National Park, NZ

Mueller Hut is often regarded as one of the best overnight hikes in New Zealand; but reaching the hut is no simple walk in the park.

Hikers will be rewarded with stunning views of the Hooker Valley, Aoraki/Mount Cook and the surrounding mountains.

Duration: ~8 hours
Date walked: February 2022
