Trip to Queenstown 🇳🇿

It was a trip to Queenstown, New Zealand. We visited a few places for hiking. If you love hiking like us, we highly recommend two incredible trails that we explored. These spots offer stunning views and are perfect for capturing breathtaking photos 📸 especially when timed just right. Queenstown Hill Walk We kicked off our hiking adventure with the Queenstown Hill Walk, a must-do for anyone visiting the area. Starting early around 8:00 AM ☀️ allowed us to enjoy the trail in the crisp morning air, with fewer people on the path. As we made our way up, the views over Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding peaks unfolded beautifully. One of our favorite spots for a photo was the Basket of Dreams sculpture. The light hitting the lake and mountains in the morning made for perfect photo opportunities, so be sure to stop and capture that magic! This hike is relatively short but offers one of the best panoramic views over Queenstown highly recommended. 📍 Belfast Terrace, Queenstown 9300, New Zealand Ben Lomond Track Ben Lomond Track was the pinnacle of our Queenstown hiking experience🏔️ We started early at around 7:00 AM to give ourselves enough time to reach the summit and enjoy the scenery along the way. The trail begins at the top of the Skyline Gondola and quickly takes you into alpine territory. We found the saddle (halfway up) to be a fantastic spot to take a break and snap some photos 📸 of the incredible view over the town and lake. If you’re feeling adventurous, continue up to the summit for panoramic views of the Southern Alps, the sight is nothing short of awe-inspiring. The lighting here is best in the morning or late afternoon when the sun bathes the mountains in a warm glow. 📍Top of the Skyline Gondola, Brecon Street, Queenstown 9300, New Zealand Both trails offer unique perspectives of Queenstown’s beautiful landscapes and are perfect for those who love scenic photography and nature 🙌🙌🙌 #hikingtrails #trip #nature
