Viewpoints and Scenic Spots

This collection spans the dramatic landscapes of the Wakatipu Basin, from the 1,748-meter summit of Ben Lomond to the manicured paths of Queenstown Gardens. Several lookouts, such as the Devil’s Staircase and Jacks Point, offer perspectives of Lake Wakatipu’s glacial trench. Higher elevation spots along the Remarkables access road and the Crown Range provide views over the Kawarau River and the Arrow Basin, while the Pillars of the Kings marks a specific filming location used for the Argonath in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
