    Robert’s Point Track
    Stunning swing bridges, fun grippy rocks, some solid incline that’s manageable, and fantastic vistas throughout the hike. The reward of a view of the glacier at the end isn’t as impressive as the rest of the views throughout.

    View of Views Loop via Lake Matheson Walk
    Trail is well kept and a fairly easy walk if you are used to hiking. Very moderate elevation changes well spaced throughout the track. Visit was in March 2020 and was sparsely populated. We tried the side trip on the Lake Gault track - however at that time the trail was still being improved and was basically so sloppy it was impassible. We look forward to completing this side trip in the future.
