Both of these walks start and finish at Loch Carpark.
Even though Mt Loch, 1887m, is the 4th highest mountain in Victoria, our walk starts at 1800m. From Loch car park, there is a 4km walk through alpine heath to the summit of Mount Loch, where there are good views of the High Plains, Mt Hotham and the rugged east face of Mt Feathertop. We will start by following the Australian Alpine Walking Track for 3.5 km to pole 60 and then follow a vehicle track north past the rocky basalt columns for 0.5 km. Climb to the summit along a track on the north western side of Mt Loch. Return by the same route. Approx 8km return 230m climb.
Before heading back down the mountain, we will dump our packs at the cars and just take a drink bottle to the summit of Mt Hotham, an easy 1,2km stroll, 80m climb from Loch Carpark.
