Gorgeous

The day we drove from Fox Glacier to Haast we passed some awesome scenery down the West Coast. This place was called Knight's Point Lookout and was great to spend a few minutes admiring before heading off on our way. Like most things in NZ it had a little parking area and info boards that explained what you were looking at.

We drove from Fox Glacier down to Haast and were constantly stopping at touristy signposted places and having to walk just a minute or two before being confronted with another gorgeous sight. Unfortunately often there was also a tourist bus full of people there too. This one was great.
