Booked on the Milford Track!


We are booked for one of the Great Walks of New Zealand...the Milford Track. Unfortunately since we are booking so late, all start dates for this track were booked for the December - February season. So we've changed plans and are heading down to the south island a little earlier than previously planned.

The Milford Track is the best-known track in NZ (and the most expensive! and the hardest to book if you don't book early!), with rainforests, alpine meadows, and waterfalls. It's located in the Fiordland National Park and it will take 4 days to hike the 53.5 km ("that's 33.2 miles for you Americans"), starting November 29th.

YAY!!! I can't wait. This is one of the tramps that I didn't want to miss. Thanks to Corey for being flexible with our travel plans.
