Queenstown was a gorgeous and fun little town. By far the best view of Queenstown was to take the hike to Ben Lomond Peak, and we did that on our first day there. This was our most intense hike so far and perhaps the most intense hike of the trip because we were trying to walk fast in order to get back and watch Arkansas play in a March Madness game.
This hike starts with a trip on a lift, so that helped with some of the elevation gain. Here's when I got my first view of where we were going. A little intimating!
And here's the view back towards Queenstown
Those mountains behind us are called "The Remarkables"
This next photo was taken on the way back down when the task had already been accomplished
After the hike, we went exploring in Queenstown for dinner options. We both had a healthy appetite and there were so many options. We ended up at a gourmet pizza place and were not disappointed. We even returned here on our way back through town later in our trip. I just didn't know if I'd ever get pizza like this again. It was truly the best pizza I've ever had in my life!
Here's the menu. Our favorite was the Montanara but everything we tried was delicious! Turns out sauces for the top of your pizza really take it to another level.
