The Perfect New Zealand South Island Itinerary

The Perfect New Zealand South Island Itinerary

Neither words nor pictures could possibly describe the beauty of New Zealand.

Therefore we decided to take a weekend trip from Salt Lake City to the National Parks. We planned a nice little loop from Salt Lake City with the first stop being the closest national park – Capitol Reef….
