Story

Westland Tai Poutini National Park is located on the western coast of New Zealand's South Island. Established in 1960, the centenary of the European settlement of Westland District, it covers 1,175 km², and extends from the highest peaks of the Southern Alps to a wild and remote coastline. It borders the Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park along the Main Divide.
Included in the park are glaciers, scenic lakes and dense temperate rainforest, as well as remains of old gold mining towns along the coast. Franz Josef Glacier and Fox Glacier are two popular tourist attractions located within Westland Tai Poutini National Park. The park offers hunting opportunities for Red Deer, Chamois and Tahr and helicopter access allows hunters access to the rugged mountain areas. The popular Copland Track runs upstream from the Karangarua River bridge. Along with the mountain scenery visible from the track, there are hot springs at Welcome Flat Hut.
In 2010 over 4,400 ha were added to the park consisting of a number of areas scattered throughout the park with the majority being to the east of Okarito Lagoon.

Address: Franz Josef Glacier, New Zealand
State: Franz Josef Glacier

So diverse, there is something for everyone here and all done in true West Coast style. I'd love to write more but I am being bitten to death by the sandflies!
Great walk. Shame the river prevents going further but a beautiful scenic walk all the same.
Nice park. Full with hikes and glaciers. The fox glacier hike it's the fun but hard one
Nice national park with beautiful glaciers, misty forest and beautiful lakes
Clean,wet,but warm,4 days south of hari hari fishing,friendly helpful locals.A must visit.
Weather was not the best and the trail direct to the glacier was closed, but it was still beautiful it’s definitely worth a visit.
The glaciers are amazing to see. Pity they are receding. But the walk there was invigorating, great waterfalls on the way. Preferred the view of Franz Josef to Fox glacier.
Good hike to see the fox Glacier.
