<span class="wsc_Subtitle">Mount Aspiring National Park, West Coast • New Zealand</span> Mount Aspiring National Park Otago’s only national park, with the province’s highest peak as its anchor, was established in 1964. It ranges along the Southern Alps from east of the Haast Pass to its border with Fiordland National Park. About half of the park lies on the far side of the Southern Alps, in the West Coast region. Initially 2, 000 square kilometres, in the 2010s it covered 3, 500 square kilometres. The Wilkin River, which joins the Makarora, is the site of a popular tramping route that reaches the base of 2, 542-m Pollux. The national park is also popular with hunters of red deer and chamois. Deer hunting by helicopter was pioneered in the area by Tim Wallis. Source: Malcolm McKinnon.
