Kepler Track

Date: July 3 - 5, 2024

Location: Te Anau, Kepler Mountains, Fiordland National Park, Southland, New Zealand

Total Trip Distance: 34.21 mi / 55 km

Total Elevation Gain: 6,607 ft / 2,014 m

Trip Duration: 3 days

Team: Chris Churcher

Field Notes: There is much written already about the Kepler Track as it is one of the most popular walks in New Zealand. Chris and I decided to jump at the opportunity of walking the track in winter with a perfect weather forecast. For three days we enjoyed solitude, empty huts, an inversion layer, and cold, calm weather. A great experience for my first ever trip in Fiordland.

Rating: Hiking
