Roy’s Peak, NZ

Took a stroll up this little hill for sunset. Sunset actually turned out alright.

Here’s some fun facts about Roys peak, from the carpark to the peak is about 7km and has a elevation gain of 1295m, I can confirm, going up is harder than going down. For me, it was a little under 2 hours to the dunny (instagram spot) and another 30 minutes to the actual peak. The time down was 1 and half hours with a bit of trail running to activate the legs. The path on the way up was muddy, but on the way down frosted and frozen over. There was snow at the top with parts of the path icy as f.

This shot was was pretty well one of the last shots I took before heading back down. The colour was still nice and very soft and everyone else had left with not a breath of wind and silence that would wake you when your dead.

If you look to the bottom right, you can see the carpark.
