Story

Westland nationalpark är en nationalpark på Sydön i Nya Zeeland som ingår i världsarvsområdet Te Wahipounamu.Parkens fullständiga officiella namn är Westland Tai Poutini National Park och dess yta omfattar cirka 1 175 kvadratkilometer.Naturen i parken varierar från kustområden med våtmarker och flodmynningar till tempererade regnskogar, bergsområden och glaciärer. De två största glaciärerna är Fox Glacier och Franz Josef Glacier.Historisk har området under flera hundra år varit en boplats för maorier och det finns många äldre spår efter denna kultur i parken. Sedan Nya Zeeland upptäcktes av Abel Tasman år 1642 var det europeiska intresset för området länge relativt litet, med undantag för jakt på de pälssälar som fanns längs kusterna. Några större europeiska bosättningar etablerades inte här förrän guld upptäcktes i området under den senare hälften av 1800-talet. Tillgången på guld minskade dock snart, men lämningar från gamla övergivna guldgrävarstäder kan ännu ses i parken.Referenser Department of Conservation information on Westland Tai Poutini National Park

The whole West Coast of this south island is amazing for hikes, glacier scenery, glacier hikes, heli scenery and star photography! Loved this national park and got some good star photography done around Frans Joseph :
Great parking spaces. Bathrooms at the start. Quick, easy flattish walk. There's a very small incline. Bench at the end to enjoy the views. A couple of waterfalls along the way. Wide and well established path to the Glacier. No dogs allowed. It's definitely easy enough for kids.
Easy walk up Trig path to a most spectacular sight, the southern Alps on one side and the Tasman sea and all the lagoons and beaches on the other. Endless dense rain forest between the two. If you lucky you will see white herons, spoonbills and other rare birds
The hike up Alex Knob was delightful, yet strenuous. Accomplishable in 4.5 hours round trip when proceeding at a decent clip, yet well worth settling into some bushes for a couple hours at the top for cover from the wind to watch the clouds roll by with occasional glimpses at the incredible glacier. My Toms were feeling their misuse by the end of this hike as the South Island terrain is testing them, yet I remain resolute and proud to continue to push their limits and enjoy the mocassin-like hiking which gives me a sense of connection and way to pay respects to native hikers of centuries past especially with the North American tribes that showed so much respect to the land and animals of their time.
This place is incredibly scenic and leads to the snout of Franz Josef Glacier. Another track crosses the river to the north the photos are from this one. It is hard to tell which is the most beautiful, the vegetation or the geology, most probably the way they combine. Most of it is easily walkable but may prove slightly treacherous in bad weather. An absolute Must but everybody knows that or obviously sees it.
Wow, just wow...what a magnificent place. Such spectacular scenery, great cafes and restaurants and plenty of activities to do...there is also a track just south of the chapel in Franz Josef that where you can see glow worms just after sun down.
Go now The West Coast needs everyone's support. We went the other week for 4 days. Drove from Blenheim which was a 6 hour drive. We received fantastic service and friendly people every where in Franz Josef . Thank you
Sensational scenery. A must visit. All tracks extreamly well maintained. The Parks Counter staff Franz Josef were very informative. Brilliant place looking foward to returning and doing some longer walks.
Nice park. Full with hikes and glaciers. The fox glacier hike it's the fun but hard one
An easy 20-30 minutes return good trail walk to see the glacier mountain.
