Visitors to this area never fail to be amazed by both the man-made and natural features of this unusual landscape. Following the Shotover River valley, the Skippers Road was hacked by hand through solid rock and clings to sheer cliff-sides with breathtaking drops into the river gorge below. As you following this route experience outstanding views at every hairpin turn, cross the historic Skippers suspension bridge built in the 1900s and on to the gold mining township of Skippers.
