What people say

Stephen Jiroch
"This is a beautiful 4.8 mile round trip hike has stunning views over the Humbolt and Darran Mountains in Fiordland National Park. Although fairly steep, you can take in some stunning panoramic views of Fiordland’s peaks and valleys at the summit. Once you get to the top, you get views of Lake Marian from above. Fair warning – the parking situation here is pretty crazy because the Key Summit Track starts along New Zealand’s famous Routeburn Track. Get here early or late in the afternoon to secure a spot."

"Ended up not having the time for this track, but it looks amazing! Give it a go if you have the time and energy. Hike details (per AllTrails): - Distance: 5 Miles - Elevation: 1,420 ft"
Bailey Selland
"This highly rated hike is 7.7km/4.7mi out and back up 420m elevation gain. This is a hefty hike but the views make it worth it!"
