Amazing view of Lake Tekapo and the surrounding mountains

This lovely short hike is a great opportunity to view Lake Tekapo and the surrounding mountains from the top. The loop hike starts (or ends) with a steep section through the woods, but the view is worth it. At the top is the University of Canterbury Mt John Observatory located.
