NOTE: The next 2 blogs are together. A couple weeks ago we did the Milford Track. It goes through Fiordland which gets 7 meters of rain a year so we were lucky to have 4 of the 5 days in sunshine though a bit unlucky to have our 1 day of rain and clouds the same day as the summit section.
A day after that we started the Routeburn Track which had great southern alpine views despite
more rain but the visibility was still decent. (1) Milford Track- Clinton Valley. (2) Milford Track- typical view of the trail. (3) Sutherland falls (580 meters- 7th highest in the world). The story goes... two explorers, Sutherland and MacKay came across a nice set of falls earlier in the canyon (but not worth posting here) and MacKay won the coin toss to name them after himself but graciously, in a half-assed way, assured Sutherland he could name the next. Doh. (4) Routeburn track- Key summit tarn. (5) Hollyford valley.
