Roy's Peak, a mountain located between Wanaka and Glendhu Bay, is a popular spot for tourists posing for photos on Instagram – but an image posted on Reddit, subtitled "The Queue" social media, "shows a long line of hikers, all waiting to take the same picture.
To reach the famous Roy's Peak Lookout, hikers must undertake a challenging three-hour walk before being rewarded with breathtaking views of Lake Wanaka and up to the summit of Mount Aspiring.
On Reddit, user Tombo_64 described his experience on the famous South Island Trail. "We were very lucky there, we stumbled on it with a few people taking pictures, we waited a moment or two before we took ours, we drove past and what had to be rush hour and I think Sincerely, the queue has lasted at least an hour. "
Another speaker, kgal1298, described a tour guide in Wanaka, tired of the hype around social media.
"My guide continued to give us wrong information about the things of this city because he hated the hype around them, and then he did not want to give us a wifi password during the trip, as he was playing with us on the phone during our rest time.I was 30 years old at the time and he legitimately felt that I was back at the same time. primary school. "
RabbitOHare responded to the message and described it as "messed up".
"Soooo if you just want to enjoy the view? I would be quite upset if I took time off work and paid me to travel to a special place, just to get away from an unforgettable moment.
"This is the kind of place I would like to immerse myself in and I'm happy to share it with anyone who will suit me. However, these people monopolize this panoramic view. It looks like it's bothered. "A similar phenomenon has been observed on the famous Norwegian Trolltunga Rock (Troll Tongue), where hundreds of tourists line up for hours to get that unstoppable shot.
The Spin the Windrose travel blog described Roy's Peak as "New Zealand's most instanced hike" – and author Abbi asked if the popular track was overrated.
"You seem to be in a queue at several places on the trail, and at the top and at the lookout, people are waiting and waiting in line to take this picture," she wrote, adding that most people did not even bother to go on. at the summit after visiting the belvedere.
However, she concluded that the hype was well deserved – especially if you leave early in the morning. The second time she borrowed the trail, Abbi chose to leave at 3 am to reach the popular viewpoint about half an hour before sunrise – and found her deserted.
"When you see Lake Wanaka while the sun rises on the hills behind you, nothing else matters.It must act from one of the most beautiful views in the world and the One of the most memorable things I will see in my lifetime, "she said. wrote.
"Who cares if there are a lot of other people hiking, does it matter if the climb itself is boring?" So what's going on there are sheep boots on the trail? And who cares about there are a billion more pictures of the same view on Instagram? "
