The Hooker Valley Track is probably the most popular of the things to do in Mount Cook National Park and one of the best short walks! To say the least, it\u2019s simply a stunning hike. The hike is also one of the most accessible hikes in the national park. At only 10km return the trail is flat and suitable for almost all fitness levels. Some of the highlights on the Hooker Valley Track include the Mueller Lake, Mueller Glacier, Hooker Lake, and Mount Cook.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/ken-cheung-UwefJSzdQSc-unsplash-1024x683-2.jpg\" alt=\"Mount Cook national park in New Zealand the only travel guide you will need.\" class=\"wp-image-3393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/ken-cheung-UwefJSzdQSc-unsplash-1024x683-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/ken-cheung-UwefJSzdQSc-unsplash-300x200-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/ken-cheung-UwefJSzdQSc-unsplash-768x512-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/ken-cheung-UwefJSzdQSc-unsplash-1536x1024-1.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/ken-cheung-UwefJSzdQSc-unsplash-2048x1365-1.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/ken-cheung-UwefJSzdQSc-unsplash-500x333-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/ken-cheung-UwefJSzdQSc-unsplash-360x240-1.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>\n  Mount Cook National Park<br \/>\n <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"h-1-whale-watching-in-kaikoura\">1.
