Since the weather had been so good for us on our Doubtful trip we decided to “High-Tale” it to Milford Sound for a compare/contrast. Two hours of twisty-turny, skilled, left-side driving from Curt, and we made it just in time to jump on board the final scenic cruise of the day! (The weather held onto the sunshine for the first part of the cruise, and then, we got to see the rains push-in at the end – really cool!) Of these two Fiords, Milford Sound is the “Mighty-Mini!” “Mini” because it’s only about 1/3 the length of Doubtful, but “Mighty” because it lacks nothing - jagged cliffs, soaring peaks, glaciers and 100’s of spectacular 1000ft+ waterfalls. It was all simply breathtaking! Truly a scenic highlight of the trip. During our trip, we have been taking-in all these incredible sights, and sometimes we’re not quite sure what our kids are thinking of this; but, in this case, the girls told us without hesitation how “Awesome” these Fiords were. The pictures we posted do not give this place the credit it deserves. We ended up camping one night in the park and awoke to one of the most beautiful sunrises, a perfect rainbow skirting the peaks above our campsite.
