About the trail
The Milford Track follows the Clinton and Arthur valleys, climbs over the Mackinnon Pass and descends along the Arthur River past Sutherland Falls, one of the highest waterfalls in New Zealand. Walkers have to book huts in advance and walk in one direction only.
The Great Walks season runs from 1 November to 30 April.
