The Crown Range Road Scenic Lookout offers breathtaking views of Queenstown and Wanaka, making it a must-stop spot for any road trip through New Zealand. As the highest main road in the country, the drive can be a bit challenging, especially in winter when snow and ice cover the road. But don't let that deter you – the stunning vistas and chance to spot cheeky kea birds along the way make it all worth it. Just remember to take it slow, enjoy the scenery, and maybe even snap a selfie or two!
