点评:Milford Track has an eviable reputation. It lived up to that reputation and exceeded it in my experience. Every turn of the Track seemed to reveal new vistas of surpassing beauty and awesome grandeur. I said "Wow!" a LOT! The attached photos illustrate what I mean. If you have the chance to hike this Track... DO it!
The Milford Track is challenging, but the way the track has been built and maintained makes it very doable, even for an overweight man in his 70's. The track surface is mostly wide and smooth. Boots are recommended as there are rocky and uneven sections. Switchbacks up the McKinnon Pass made climbing quite easy. Due to avalanche danger we used the alternate track into the Arthur Valley. This was rough with big drop offs and fallen trees, but was navigable, though we were exhausted at the end of the descent. Well done to DOC for the way this track has been kept!

米尔福德步道具有挑战性,但步道的建造和维护方式使其非常可行,即使对于 70 多岁的超重男性来说也是如此。步道表面大多宽阔而光滑。建议穿靴子,因为有岩石和不平坦的部分。麦金农山口的之字形路线使攀登变得相当容易。由于雪崩危险,我们使用了进入亚瑟谷的替代路径。这条路很崎岖,有大片悬崖和倒下的树木,但可以通行,尽管我们在下山结束时筋疲力尽。感谢 DOC 保持了这条步道!
