Sealy Tarns is a small flat area on the Mueller Ridge that is accessible from the Hooker Valley and Mount Cook Village via a blazed DOC track. The track is extremely steep and features many switchbacks and steps built of large timber anchored into the ground. The area features a tarn (hence its name), an area suitable for tobogganing on the side of the ridge, and an excellent view of The Footstool, Aoraki/Mount Cook, both Hooker Glacier and Mueller Glacier and their respective glacial lakes, and Mount Cook Village.
