This is a comprehensive guide to tramping tracks and routes in the South Island, from Arthur's Pass National Park to the boundaries of Westland and Mount Cook National Parks. Detailed route descriptions and gradings are given for a wide variety of trips from forest track day walks to difficult alpine traverses. Nowhere else in the world is there an area of such magnificent natural wilderness that is so accessible and offers as much scope for a lifetime of tramping as does the South Island of New Zealand. It is hoped that this book will encourage more people to get out and about in the hills, do a wider variety of tramping trips, and become more instilled with a sense of the virtue of natural environment.
