I did the Milford Track a few years ago with the Wakatipu Tramping Club. It’s New Zealand’s most famous hike, and the Sound is a wonder.
"Mackinnon Pass bears the name of the Scottish explorer Quintin McKinnon, whose first and last names have both been written down in various ways. Like much of the South Island the pass has a real Scottish-highlands feel to it as well. It put me in touch with my father’s-side roots for a moment, even if his native town of Dundee is on the other side of the world!"
"...As we caught a short boat ride past Mitre Peak to finish our tramp, it wasn’t hard to see why it is perhaps the most iconic mountain in New Zealand."
