Route/Trail notes

A detailed description of the walk!

From Lake Dobson take the Urquhart Track and Snowgum Track up to the top of the ski field then continue on past the Tarn Shelf turn off to the top of the Rodway Range (you need to scramble slightly off the main trail to get to the summit). The trail then heads down the far side of the Rodway Range to K Col and its hut which has interesting history. Then pass Clemes Tarn up onto the high plateau between Naturalist Peak and Mount Field West. It is stunning up here. Take the off trail scramble up to Naturalist Peak then return to trail and head over to Mount Field West and then return the way you have come.
