Craigieburn Valley Ski Club

Travel Guide

Castle Hill Conservation Area is an awesome place for a morning stroll. Good photo compositions can be found all over the place. We didn't get great light that day but at least some moody clouds.
Frigid mountain rainwater? Any bath is worthwhile for a dirtbag cyclist. Stopping at Castle Hill was a must on our trip over Arthur's Pass. Wandering through the otherworldly rock formations made us feel like little kids - you just can't help but play hide and go seek through the tunnels or climb to the highest peak.

Castle Hill is an incredible maze of limestone boulders in Arthur's Pass on New Zealand's South Island. It's representative of the dreamlike/fantasy landscapes one can find in New Zealand AKA Lord of the Rings country. Castle Hill serves as a perfect location for bouldering, climbing, having a picnic and/or playing hide and seek. #Green
Really great hike.
