Dreamscapes Travel & Lifestyle

WINTER/SPRING 2018 DREAMSCAPES 61 H iking in New Zealand just became more fun with the addi- tion of 14 short walks and five day hikes for trekkers looking for shorter, more manageable experiences than the island's popular multi-day trails. The tracks were chosen for their beauty and variety of environments, as well as for their accessibility and good visitor facilities. Short walks, ranging from 30 minutes to three hours, will appeal to those with more compact itineraries. Three- to eight-hour day hikes will encourage visitors to stay longer in a region without the need to commit to more full- on, multi-day trails. newzealand.com/ca/walking-and-hiking COURTESY TOURISM NEW ZEALAND F eaturing more than 200 stores under one roof, New Jersey's largest outlet mall, The Mills at Jersey Gardens, is the place to shop for any occasion.
