Scale your frame. When you do not have a tripod or being not with 2 people, maybe you just kindly ask people if it would be okay to take a shot of a silhouette for scale. It adds up a lot to the frame.

Thew trail covers around 60 km through Fiordland National Park. Most hikers complete the trail in three to four days, reaching its highest point at Mount Luxmore (1,472 m / 4,829 ft). The track is considered moderately challenging and is best experienced during the Great Walk season from late October to April, when huts and facilities are fully operational.
