) was built to
take pressure off the Milford and Routeburn. Many trampers say it rivals them

popping sights include towering limestone bluffs, razor-edged ridges, panoramas
galore and crazy caves. The Kepler is a truly spectacular way to appreciate the
grandeur of NZ's finest and most vast wilderness.
