We made it to Picton today and got the details settle for the Queen Charlotte track. New Zealand is famous for its mega epic, multi-day hiking tracks that take you through some of the most amazing countryside. There are 9 Great Walks that are so named by the Kiwis themselves. There are tons more that are just as epic but a little less famous. Queen Charlotte is one of those. I read about it in a National Geographic article about the worlds best hikes that no one has ever heard of.
The Queen Charlotte Track covers 70 km that we plan to cover in 4 days (3 nights). There is only 1 day that will really test us (and Pal) as it covers ~25 km (or about 15 miles). There are established campsites along the way and we have arranged to have our bags transferred to each of our stops so we aren't carrying everything… except Pal. Luckily he loves his pack and loves to point out all of the things he sees along the way. It will be a great time for us all!
