While in Queenstown, we made a scheduled 5-hour drive to Milford Sound, a simply must see experience. I have been fortunate to see some majestic scenery in my life, but this trip tops the list. Seldom do you take a long trip that is almost as incredible as your destination, but this one qualifies. Majestic snow-capped mountains, mirror lakes, fabulous tunnels through mountains, and incredibly good weather made the trip to Milford a wonderful experience.
Just starting out with our destination in the distance.
The Mirror Lakes are exactly what they are and we got there at the perfect time as the following pictures can attest.
Leaving the Mirror lakes behind, we continued our approach to Milford Sound and the mountains began looming above us we drove.
In line as we prepare to enter the long tunnel cut through the mountain.
