Three swing bridges, boardwalks and braided rivers make it the most rewarding easy day walk in the Southern Alps. :NOTE No booking or permit is required, but the valley funnels strong wind and afternoon cloud onto the mountain, so set out early from the White Horse Hill car park for the best chance of a clear Aoraki view. :LINK https://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/canterbury/places/aoraki-mount-cook-national-park/things-to-do/tracks/hooker-valley-track/ More info
