Summit

The summit of the Crown Range Road with two prominent Cairn's.

The Crown Range Road is the highest sealed road in New Zealand at 1076 metres above sea level. In 1877 the first tourist trips using horse drawn coaches drove over the pass.

In 2008 the road was sealed. It is now a major tourist route bringing the communities and ski fields of Queenstown and Wanaka closer.
