Information

Mount / Mt John

Time: 6-8 hours, 26km round trip

Continue from the top of Mount John to the south end of Lake Alexandrina, follow the eastern shore of Lake Alexandrina to Lake McGregor, along the Peninsula back to Lake Tekapo. Full day walk.

The only bikeable track is from the hot pools going north until it gets too steep, and bikers need to turn back the same way the came from. The Mt John summit track is a walking circuit not suitable for bikers. The track is on an easement on private land so not Public Conservation Land.

    We can walk around the whole lake in about 6 hours - birds, native grasses and mountain views.
