From Home Hills Runs road the narrow rough track climbs steeply up onto the Hawkdun Range at 1620 metres offering stunning views out over the valley below.

The track runs past the infamous Ida Railway Hut which is an amazing place to spend the night on your way through.

The route has a few river crossings on it - be prepared to turn back if they're too deep. And as always, check the weather before you head into these areas, it can turn quickly.
