"The track to Ben Lomond starts right in the middle of Queenstown, which is also known as "the adventure capital of the world".
The first part of the track leads through a dense forest and crosses some world famous downhill mountain biking trails. After an hour or two the landscape changes drastically and the scene is dominated by alpine tussock.
Our original plan was to camp near the summit of Ben Lomond, but since this is a very popular track that gets really crowded and the sun also began to set we decided to pitch our tents on a neighbouring saddle. This turned out to be a great idea.
Gear List:
Camera - Canon 6D
Morning Robson
Mount Robson Provincial Park always delivers for a killer tentview, more-so after a successful hike through its strenuous terrain.
Rainier Road
Mt. Rainer Wilderness is a solid spot to spend the first night camping in a new VW Westfalia.
Lower Twin Lake
The “lesser” known Lower Twin Lake is a seemingly private camping experience along the trail to the centerpiece of Lassen Volcanic National Park.
