This roadside pullover on the Mount Cook Road (SH80) is just one of the many stops you can make to take a photo of Mount Cook on your drive into the park. This location in particular looks amazing on your mid range zoom lens taking in the landscape of Mount Cook and the surrounding mountains and alpine vegetation.

Please take care when setting up for this shot as it is a main highway and can get very busy with cars. Always have a spotter and stay clear on oncoming traffic and from behind.

Photography info: This location is beautiful at sunrise with the first light hitting Mount Cook, and take your mid range zoom lens (24-70mm or similar) for this one.
