Trip to Mt Annette and past Mueller Hut, New Zealand
Michael Beckmann
In December 2024, we took a two-day trip to Mount Cook National Park, summiting Mt. Annette and Mt. Kitchener. The journey began with a hike up the well-traveled Mueller Hut track. From there, we traversed snow and rocky slopes beyond the hut to reach the Annette Plateau, where we set up camp for the night.

This trip is out and back from the White Horse Hill Campground, which is located just past Mount Cook Village.
Season
We did this hike in December 2024, which is the spring season and coming into summer. Conditions can vary greatly from day to day at this time of year. We had two beautiful bluebird days and it only froze lightly overnight. This time of the year is known for the typical freeze-melt cycles, which means you want to plan any snow travel in the early morning.
In summer I can imagine a lot of the snow will be melted making traveling faster. However, there are areas with snow all year round.
