Description
A short track leads to the Pukaki Boulders. These large boulders are glacial erratics deposited by the huge glacier that dominated the area over 12,000 years ago.
Getting there
Access is along the Aoraki/Mt Cook Road (SH80), approximately 5 km from the SH8 turnoff. A signpost and stile are on the Lake Pukaki side of the highway.
