Milford Track in New Zealand has captivated the hearts and minds of hikers from around the globe for well over 100 years now. And not without good reason has the world-renowned Milford Track stood the test of time, earning its place on many hikers’ bucket lists. The Milford Track (53.5 km) starts at Glade Wharf (at the head of Lake Te Anau, access from Te Anau Downs, 27 km from Te Anau). It finishes at Sandfly Point in Milford Sound. Milford has become synonymous with beauty, a 54km, four-day tramp through beech forest, over glacier-fed rivers and up the climatic MacKinnon Pass, an alpine crossing more than 1,100 metres above sea-level. Traversing the heart of Fiordland National Park and a World Heritage area on New Zealand’s scenic South Island.
