"Amazing hike, need to
start early
for the summit"
"The walk itself is also more varied (having the
Tiki Trail
forest, the steady climb to the saddle and then the steep scramble to the summit) which made it a little more interesting than the zig zag of Roy’s Peak."

Tiki Trail

"Also it’s quite a short hike (1 hour up, 40 min back down) and finishing up at the skyline saves you the gondola trip up! 100% recommend as it wasn’t too difficult and was just a
great walk
the entire way!"

Queenstown Hill
probably a little better as it provides true 360deg views."
