flag New Zealand opens the 61-km Hump Ridge Track, a new Great Walk through diverse landscapes and historic sites.

flag The Hump Ridge Track, a 61-kilometer trail in New Zealand’s South Island, has opened as the latest Great Walk, spanning national park, Māori land, and private property. flag Designed in the 1980s after logging declined, it took thousands of volunteer hours to build and offers a three-day journey from sea level to subalpine peaks through ancient rainforest, secluded beaches, and historic logging sites. flag Managed by a charitable trust, it allows bookings up to a year in advance, with guided options including helicopter transfers, private cabins, hot showers, and meals. flag Hikers experience diverse ecosystems, dramatic coastal views, and remnants of the former sawmilling town of Port Craig, now a peaceful trail hub.
