Skip the helicopter tours unless you have a massive budget. The Hooker Valley Track is free, takes three hours, and delivers the best views of the ice-capped peaks without the noise. Go at sunrise to avoid the bus crowds and get that perfect reflection shot on the glacial lakes. Pack an extra layer because the wind rips through the valley regardless of the season. It is just rocks, ice, and zero cell service.
