Though and long hike

Due to the temporary closure of Roy's Peak, we decided to hike the Isthmus Peak during our stay in Wanaka, in November 2017. To be honest, it has been a bit harder than expected, especially the first two hours. It tooked us 3 hours to go up and two hours to go down and we are in regular fitness But hang on, once you reach the middle of the way up, you can already appreciate all the way you already hikked and enjoy the view. Once at the top, the 360° landcape in mind-blowing and you won't regret the effort, that's for sure. We decided to get at the top for the sunset to enjoy the golden hour and it was a beautiful as expected. We finally start to go down around 7:pm and walked the last 45 minutes we the headlamp as only light. Definitly one of the highlight of our NZ trip. Some locals advised us to hike this trail instead of Roy's Peak, even if this one would have be open because the view is similar and it's less crowded. We have spend 2 hours a the top and we didn't see anybody. Enjoy ;-) #themeparks#lakes#beaches#infinitypool
