Hiking the Key Summit Trail in Fiordland

After we docked from our Milford Sound overnight cruise, we found ourselves in the depths of Fiordland National Park early in the morning, so we wanted to take advantage and do a hike.

The Key Summit Trail was an excellent option. There's a gradual incline in a wooded area and a fairly intense switchback section, but the views at the top are breathtaking. 360 degrees of mountains surround you.

And there's a nature trail at the leveled-off top...

So you can wander around and enjoy the views for all the work you just put in to get there.

Panoramic view from the top.

Just stunning.
