Don't miss The Chasm! - Te Anau/Milford Sound

        
On our way back from Milford Sound we made the mistake of not stopping at The Chasm. The Chasm is located between Te Anau and Milford Sound, just past the Homer Tunnel and is a short 10 minute walk from the road. This website has great map of the drive from Te Anau to Milford Sound that shows all the sights between the two so YOU don't miss anything!

"The form of the Cleddau River changes dramatically as it passes from hard to soft rock. Cutting through the softer bedrock the river has created a series of spectacular waterfalls. The force of water and rocks swirling and grinding in the currents has over thousands or years, created the sculpted rocks and rounded basins of the chasm." - The chasm Roadside Sign                                                                                              photo
