This hike was so worthwhile, we did it twice in a week.
Roy's Peak is a popular hike just around the lake from Wanaka, in the direction of Mt Aspiring National Park. The beginning is easily accessible from the road and the summit can be reached throughout the year.
If you stop for a picture (or a free overnight camp) at the Crown Range Summit carpark, it is worth taking a hike up the track leading to Rock Peak.
You might think that the road between Glenorchy and Queenstown is stunning, but there are a number of walking tracks accessible from the road that provide even better views and a more rewarding experience.
Hiking, trekking, tramping; call it what you will, but an extended walk in the wilderness with some forest or mountains thrown in is my number one outdoor activity. Some nature, fresh air and exercise really gets those endorphins going. And it's free!
