Very Hard off track
Starting from Huon Campground near Scotts Peak Dam in Southwest NP, this walk leads along McKays Track which becomes Arthur Plains track at Junction Creek Campsite. Following the Arthur Plains through Derwent and Huon Valleys there Seven Miles Creek Campsite next to the creek. The next section leads to Cracroft Crossing and the junction with the Eastern Arthur Range Traverse. Tackle the great Razorback before heading along the track. After passing a few creeks you'll reach Pass Creek Campsite, situated near the creek. The following section takes you along a steep track past Boiler Plates peak and beautiful Lake Leo to Stuart Saddle Campsite. The next short section leads below The Needles to Goon Moor Campsite. The following part leads across the Gables and there it is where the stunning views over the distand Federation Peak open up. The technical climbing section along the Four Peaks then up Thwaites Plateau and passed the Devils Thumb to the Hanging Lake Campsite, nicely located beside the lake. From here it's the climb onto the impressive Federation Peak to then reach the Bechervaise Plateau Campsite. It is a short distance from here to the next Cutting Camp by the Cherry Creek. The track then follows the Cracroft River past Southwest NP and Piction River Conservation Area to the West Piction Road. Let us begin by acknowledging the Palawa people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
