The Queenstown end of the Lyell Highway, famous for its descent through the moon-like hills of the West Coast.
A dramatic, winding descent through treeless hills, with big views and a long run of bends.
It is a main route, so trucks and tourists share it. Take it steadily, and watch for rain, which the West Coast gets often.
Queenstown has fuel and food.
