Rams Head Range
Sat 14th Feb 2026
Bookings available to active members only.
An overnight walk, camping on the Rams Head Range in Kosciusko National Park. Suitable for members as an introduction to off-track walking and summer camping in an alpine environment.
The walk begins with a steepish climb up the Dead Horse Gap walking track (450m over 4km). After leaving the track at the high point, a more gradual climb leads to the pleasant campsite next to a gently flowing creek. The relaxed afternoon may be enjoyed by just lolling around the tents or strolling the higher ground to check out the views.
The return journey is by following the Great Dividing Range down the Rams Heads back to Dead Horse Gap, bagging some peaks along the way.
