I'm hoping someone can provide some thoughts/advice:
I have 4 full days available to hike (tramp) in late February following some work based in Queenstown. I prefer the road less travelled.
I know very little about the area, but the 3 below hikes have sparked my interest:
> George Sound (one-way or rushed return)
> Dusky (not sure which half is best, or rush full length excl. Supper Cove)
> Cascade/Rees
Other options I've considered:
> Routeburn/Greenstone or Routeburn/Caples (crowds?)
> Kepler or Hollyford (crowds?)
> Hump or Motatapu or Gillespie Pass or Rabbit Pass
Also can Routeburn be enjoyed as a very long day walk? Is Ben Lomond worth doing?
Any thoughts I would be grateful.
