Tucked away in Canterbury, this is less a track and more a short gravel pull-off only a few hundred metres long. The draw here is simple: park up and grab an epic shot of your 4WD framed against the towering backdrop of Aoraki/Mt Cook. The surface is straightforward gravel with no real technical challenge or bush rash to worry about, so it's accessible to most vehicles. The reward is all about the view, and it's at its best in clear conditions, with sunrise a favourite time for photographers. Bring good weather and a camera, because when the mountain is out this spot delivers a postcard-worthy image with minimal effort. It's a quick stop rather than a destination drive, ideal to tack onto a longer day exploring the high country.
