We had some free time on a tour, and chose to hike this trail for a view of Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu.
The path leads from town, up through a wonderful rainforest, complete with fairy / cairn garden, up past an intriguing sculpture "Basket of Dreams", to an amazing view of the valley. We also enjoyed watching the paragliders take off from the gondola from the next peak, which was fun! There are benches along the way to stop and take in the scenery and atmosphere, and the trail is in great shape for most abilities levels - though it does get a bit rocky near the top.
If you're in town and have time, take a walk on this trail. Watch your time, and if you're short, there is something to see for any length of hike.
