"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.

Camera - Canon 6D
Lodgepole
Dark sky views at Lodgepole Campground is one of the reasons why it’s such a popular campspot in Sequoia National Park.
Above Waves
With a tent setup unrestricted by ground conditions and other weather variables at this Hawaiian campspot, we can only wonder: Is this the future of camping?
Camp Deception
It’s a slight bummer when the reverse gear of your 1975 VW Bus craps out while parked near a steep drop-off, but at least you can still camp out in it while waiting for the overall situation to improve.
