A hiker on Mackinnon Pass (3520 feet) gazes at Mount Balloon (6080 feet) on the Milford Track, a "Great Walk" in Fiordland National Park, South Island, New Zealand. The Milford Track is a fun 4-day hike, starting from a boat launch on Lake Te Anau, wandering through glaciated valleys and over an alpine pass to Milford Sound, an impressive glacier-carved fiord. You can optionally stay an extra night and tour Milford Sound via a one-day kayak trip. In 1990, UNESCO honored Te Wahipounamu – South West New Zealand as a World Heritage Area.
