La caminata en el monte cook es muy bonita. A nosotros nos tocó un día nublado y con una continua llovizna. Por un lado, eso limitó la vista a la cima de la montaña y su zona de hielo, pero por otro lado, se trata de una caminta que hubiese sido muy dura hacerla con sol, porque no tiene muchas zonas de sombra. La caminta dura una hora y media de ida y se retorna por el mismo camino. En total alrededor de 3 horas.
