## Alpine Crossing of Two Parks

A 32 km Great Walk that stitches together Mount Aspiring and Fiordland National Parks in two or three days. Above the bushline at Harris Saddle the track opens onto enormous views over the Hollyford Valley and the Darran Mountains.

It is a point to point walk, so arrange transport between the Routeburn Shelter and The Divide ends before you book huts when the DOC system opens in early July.
