Hike at Milford Sound
We recently returned from our summer holiday down south. We spent three days at Milford Sound. We took this fabulous hike one day .
Typical of the Kiwis, this hike was not for lightweights. It was steep, rocky and loads of fun.
The very fact that it was more of an adventure, made this hike much more appealing to the boys.
Grandma was an amazing sport and hiked this treacherous trail to the bitter end.
This is no Rocky Mountain National Park. Described as moderate, I can't imagine what a difficult hike is like.
After this exciting climb, Duane ripped off his clothes and plunged into the icy, alpine lake.

This looks like it was great fun. Was the downhill part as treacherous as the uphill? I'm always game to go up anything, it's coming back down where I have a problem.
The down hill was really rough. Duane's dad turned back about an hour into it - mainly because he anticipated a very difficult return.
That does look like a really great trip. After seeing the pictures, it is definitely some place Lee and I have to visit.
I think the following might incorporate what a difficult hike/adventure would be..
