That Roys Peak Shot
This is a must do hike in the Wanaka area, Great outstanding views of the entire region, with lake Wanaka, it's islands, bays and the snow capped peaks of the Southern Alps. If you look hard enough, you can also see the mighty Mount Aspiring sticking out of the mountains. The track is a 16 km round trip to the top of the mountain, but if you are just after that Instagram shot, then you can take a couple of km off. But you will have to wait in a line. The price for perfection I'm afraid.
Directions
From Wanaka, Drive 6km along the Mount Aspiring Road out of Wanaka to the Roys Peak Track car park. Get here early to avoid the parking problems that they have. Then well it's a good 4-8 hour hike depending on your fitness levels. Take plenty of water and check out these sites below for more info.
