High above the raging Shotover River, Skippers Road creeps along the face of Skippers Canyon. Don't look down! Skippers Road is today one of New Zealand's better known scenic roads and unbelievably scary as it’s totally narrow and different to manoeuvre your car. This unpaved road, carved by hand by miners over 140 years ago, is made from a very narrow cut in the middle of a sheer cliff face. It’s a road so dangerous that your rental car insurance won’t be honored if you drive on it. The road was built during the gold rush, when a precarious pack track was the only access to Skippers township and the Upper Shotover diggings. This is a one-and-a-half- to two-hour drive.
