It was an easy trek and the view was phenomenal. We got there just as the sun was about to go behind the mountains so I was glad that I could capture what was left of the light on those snow-capped peaks. The giant mountain there is Mt Wakefield and just to the left of it is Mt Cook, nearly fully covered by those stubborn clouds. The Muller Glacier down the bottom definitely gave the image a good colour contrast as well.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/2390/de7dd29b-e294-469c-aae6-1781fd093d67.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Te Wahipounamu 2 min walk \- 0.2 km - ![If you can afford it, I recommend splurging on a helicopter flight or fixed wing plane ride to Milford from Queenstown or Wanaka.
