Itinerary description
Two of the easy walks that one can do from Aoraki National Park.
Kea Point is a short walk until the base of one incredible glacier from the lookout. It was amazing to stay here during some minutes just hearing the sound of the snow falling down from the heights.
The Hooker Valley was not complete, we walked only until the 2nd bridge due to we hadn´t more time available, but based on the opinion of the other people there is one more hour and a half, to arrive until the end and return to this point.

Dos del tracks més fácils que un pot fer al Aoraki National Park.
El Kea Point és un track curt i fácil fins a la base d'un preciós glaciar que pot ser observat des del mirador. Va ser increible estar durant uns minuts allà escoltant només el soroll de la neu i el gel caient.
El Hooker Valley no el várem completar per falta de temps, però vàrem caminar fins el segon pont. Però si ens basem amb el que várem parlar amb altres excursionistes, hi ha una hora i mitja més aproximadement fins al final del track i tornar a aquest punt.
