New Zealand Area around Alex Knob Peak, Franz Josef Glacier

Alex Knob Track offers great views on the Franz Josef Glacier and the surrounding mountains. On your first kilometer you hike through a sick green jungle forest with crazy low-hanging moss-covered trees. After you are coming out of the bush line you will get beautiful mountain valley views. At the end of the track you will get stunning views like this on the picture.

For sunset it is perfect to shoot in the direction where the ocean is. The sun is going down right into the sea. Place a person for scale and use a middle unsharp foreground for more dynamic.

Try to shoot without a tripod for more perspectives in a short time window.

This 15,4 km out-and-back trail with 1058 meter of elevation is a moderate hike and requires a medium level of fitness. There is no section that is steeper. A steady ascent makes this track easier.
