New Zealand Sefton Bivouac

High up at Sefton Bivouac, you can see the Hooker Valley, the winding Hooker River, and Lake Pukaki in the distance. It's a quiet spot with stunning views of the Southern Alps.

I would suggest using ND filters for the drone or your camera.

Start Mt. Cook Village and take Hooker Valley Track. I would suggest navigating via AllTrails, even though all tracks are well marked.
