Queenstown Hill Walking Track: The complete walk-through experience

On the second day of our trip to the South Island of New Zealand, we woke up early to trek the Queenstown Hill Walking Track.
The walk to the trailhead from Queenstown Center passed through some residential streets.
After an ascent of approximately twenty minutes, we arrived at the Queenstown Hill landmark, the Basket of Dreams sculpture.
A short distance of fifteen-minute hike from the Basket of Dreams led us to the summit of Queenstown Hill, Te Tapunuii (a mountain of intense sacredness).
This section of the loop track immerses us in a distinct experience. The towering trees and dense foliage create a verdant canopy that shadows the path. Here, sunlight struggles to penetrate, transforming the ambiance into a sober, almost ethereal atmosphere.
I hope you will enjoy watching this video.

Erratum: The Basket of Dreams was created in 2013, not 2023, as mentioned in the video at minute 4.29.
