We start at Yankee Hat car park, following the walking track to cross the Gudgenby grassland and Bogong Creek. We follow the track for a short while and then head off track NW and ascend up between Yankee Hat North and South. We should reach the summit about mid-day for lunch, on a clear day there are great views from here. From the summit we follow the ridgeline to the SE stopping at various slabs. We then take the best route we can find back down to the valley floor and return to the cars via Frank and Jacks Hut. The regrowth is heavy so be prepared for a lot of bush bashing and rock scrambling.
The regrowth since the fires make this a hard walk and a long day, please consider your fitness when deciding if this walk is for you. The timings are an estimate only.
