During Spring (November - December) the famous Mount Cook Road (SH80) is just one of locations where you might find lupins growing on the side of the road with a view of the mountains as well.

Although the lupin locations can vary from year to year, if you keep your eyes open while travelling down to Mount Cook Village you might be able to find a beautiful Mount Cook lupin photo with Aoraki in the background!

Please take care when setting up for these kind of shots 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.
