The Milford Track is the heart of Fiordland National Park, a World Heritage Area, and also the wildest, wettest and most isolated part of New Zealand. Everything about this area is dramatic and awesome. It was fashioned by massive uplifts of rock 2 million years ago, and moulded by water in all its forms, ice, snow, rain, glaciers, waterfalls, rivers and lakes.
The Milford track is 54 kms long and can be physically challenging. Part of the experience is negotiating rough terrain, stream crossings, and sometimes high winds, but the rewards make it all worthwhile.

New Zealand's summer months are December to February. But I only say Summer would be better because you'd most likely be hiking through snow during the Winter months and possibly Autumn leading up to winter.usmarine wrote:

It would still be worth doing during winter, if you don't mind walking 45kms in the snow. It might even look better during Winter with ice covered lakes, but you'd most likely have a rougher time doing it.

During the summer peak season of late October to late April, access to the trail is highly regulated. Walkers must complete the track in four days, travelling only in the northward direction. Camping is prohibited on the trail. Walkers can tramp the track independently, or as part of a more expensive guided walk with a guide company. A maximum of 90 walkers can start the trail per day (40 Independent, and 50 Guided). Usually these 90 places are booked out for many months in advance, despite the high cost of the guided walks.
[edit] Independent tramping
If hiking independently, each night must be spent in a hut owned and maintained by the Department of Conservation. The huts for independent walkers have basic facilities, which include bunk areas, restrooms, and cooking facilities; walkers have to carry their own equipment and food.
