Guthega -> Mount Twynam (~7 kms)

(From "Snowy Mountains Walks" - Geehi Bushwalking Club, 8th ed.)

From the lodges at Guthega (1,600 metres) head south-west about 500 metres to Farm Creek, just above the pondage (1,585 metres). Cross Farm Creek and follow the footpath near the Snowy River for two kilometres to Illawong Ski Lodge (1,640 metres). Cross the Snowy River over the footbridge.

Strike upwards through thick heathland, in a slightly westerly direction, ot hte last patches of Snow Gun to reach Twynam Creek (1,380 metres). Follow up the steep and pretty creek to near its source and continue in a westerly direction into the sadle between Twynam and Little Twynam (2,088 metres). Now turn in a northerly direction past the deepest snowdrift (which may not be there after a hot summer) to reach the summit of Twynam [GR 179 791 TWYNAM].

Mount Twynam -> Consett Stephen Pass (~8 kms)

(From "Snowy Mountains Walks" - Geehi Bushwalking Club, 8th ed.)

The descent from Twynam follow the north-east spur into the saddle between Twynam and Mount Anderson (1,877 metres) from where there are exellent views of Watsons Crags. Continue in an easterly direction, [...] over the peak east of Mount Anderson (1,963 metres) following the line of an old fence.

Head north-east along the ridge line, avoiding the more obvious, but ultimately misleading foot pads. Continue up over Mann Bluff and on to the summit of Mount Tate (2,068 metres) [GR 214 142 TATE]. From the summit it is a gentle 120 metre (vertical) descent to Consett Stephen Pass.

Consett Stephen Pass -> Dicky Cooper Bogong (~7 kms)

From Consett Stephen Pass head uphill towards the small hill to the east and then turn north towards The Rolling Grounds. Continue northwards, paying close attention to navigation, along The Rolling Ground, over The Granite Peaks, to the summit of Dicky Cooper Bogong (2004 metres) [GR 232 326 DCBOG].

Dicky Cooper Bogong -> Valentine Hut (~9 kms)

From the summit of Dicky Cooper Bogong it is just over a kilometre downhill run to Schlink Pass, where the Munyang - Geehi Road is intersected. The road is followed north past the Schlink Hilton to the Valentine Fire Trail turn off [GR 234 348 VALFT].

Turn right on to Valentine Fire Trail and follow it past the meteorological station, across the creek and up the steep hill. From the top of the hill the trail continues north parallel to Duck Creek to Valentine Hut.

Valentine Hut -> Gungarton Saddle (~7kms)

From the hut, back track along the Valentine Fire Trail for 500 metres or so. A small rock cairn sometimes present beside the track marks the departure point from the track [GR 235 354 VALTURN]. Head south east through the trees for the 250 metre (vertical) ascent to the Kerries Range. Once attained, the ridge is followed roughly south to Gungarton Saddle [GR 262 624 GUNGPASS].

Gungarton Saddle -> Whites River Hut (~5kms)

From the saddle, climb to the summit of Gungarton before heading down the south western flank of the mountain. Avoid turning west towards Schlink Pass too early, the route taken should approach Schlink Pass from slightly south of due east. Once at the pass, it is an easy run down the Munyang-Geehi Road to Whites River Hut.

Whites River Hut -> Guthega Dam (~10 kms)

The track up to The Rolling Ground is located across the creek from the hut to the south. The exit point on to The Rolling Ground is at grid [GR 241 807 ROLLWHT]. Continue south along the Rolling Ground to the small hill [GR 226 775 HILLECSP] east of Consett Stephen Pass. From this hill, follow the bare ridge line to the south east. After a kilometre or so, take the southern spur downhill between Falls Creek and Guthega River to the collapsed Guthega Trig [GR 623200 5975000]. From the trig point, it is a steady 300 metre (vertical) descent to the Guthega Dam gate house [GR 622900 5973300].
