You might never want to leave. Both hiking aficionados and roaming rookies visit quite often with the agenda of tackling Roy\u2019s Peak. Most will opt to stay a few days because, even though Roy\u2019s steals the show, it\u2019s certainly not the only act on stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If You\u2019ve Never Hitchhiked, It\u2019s Time to Start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d39ghehfp8sbx4.cloudfront.net\/media\/img\/1\/2762d662-5256-406b-a18d-80bb56059f2e-1024.jpg?placeid=6118&amp;name=Roys%20Peak,%20Peak&amp;lat=-44.700001&amp;lng=169.050003\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Wanaka, New Zealand. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless you plan to rent a car, you\u2019ll have to find a creative way to get to the trailhead.
