Ben Lomond Track
5.0/5
I walked to the saddle.
The track is easy to follow, nearly all up hill but well worth it for the amazing views over the lake and mountains.

Key Summit Track
5.0/5
This track is all about the view from the top.
On a fine day there are beautiful mountain peaks all around. It's a great place to stop and admire Fiordland's epic scenery.

Rob Roy Track
4.5/5
Driving to the start of Rob Roy track was fun.
I saw sheep, lambs, mountainous scenery hidden by mist, and a rainbow. It was raining but that didn't ruin my hike. The track is located beside a river and it was nice to listen to the rushing water as I walked through the beech forest. I saw Rob Roy Glacier and heard large chunks of ice break off and crash down the mountain. As I walked back to my car, rain drops tumbled from the tree canopy and splashed off my boots. Sometimes it's nice to hike in the rain.
