Kea Point Track

The first half hour or 40 minutes is a windy flat path that alternates between wooden walkways and rock/gravel. You will walk through patches of forest, only to emerge to vistas of the surrounding mountains, and back again. You may also have to walk through a stream after heavy rain. During dry seasons, this area is simply a rock bed. 

As you continue on, you will reach a map, after which the path widens until you reach where the path divides with the Sealy Tarns and Mueller Hut tracks. Following the Kea Point Track on the right, the vegetation will change and the track will begin to incline. The incline is not steep but rises steadily. The path eventually leads to what appears to be a hole in the middle of a rock wall. Emerging on the other side of this, you will be able to see the viewpoint, from which you can gaze at Mueller Lake and Mount Cook in the background.
