New Zealand Roy's Peak
Roy's Peak is one of the highest peaks in the Wanaka area. It's a gruelling 2-3 hour hike to the top but the viewpoint provides an amazing view of Wanaka lake and surrounding mountains.
Photography Tips
The best possible light for this location is sunrise so you will need to hike very early in the morning or stay overnight at the peak. Ensure you have a stable tripod as this location can be very windy.
Travel Information
Parking is available at the base of the mountain. This is a tough 2-3 hour hike to the top. If you want to achieve the best shots camping at the top will be your best option. Hiking with full gear will make the journey harder but the photo results will make it worth it.
Ensure you dress warmly as even during the summer this location can be very cold and windy.
