Blue-green lakes, massive glaciers, and snowcapped Rocky Mountains peaks slow the pace on the two-lane ride. Parts of the park get busy in the summer, so spring and fall are excellent seasons to experience these national parks. Regardless of season, though, hiking trails will lead travelers to wild spaces away from any crowds. That is, if you don’t mind the marmots, bighorn sheep, elk, and occasional stray bear keeping you company.
Pick an extreme sport and imagine doing it on snowcapped mountains, in extreme weather, or with river spray in your face. You are likely to find all of those options on the South Island of New Zealand. Just about anything goes, from heli-skiing to careening at high speeds near the rocky edge of a river in a jet boat to bungee jumping—in fact, bungee jumping was developed in Queenstown; the first trusting souls threw themselves off the town’s Kawarau Bridge in 1988.
