The hike to the summit of Mount Bogong is amongst Victoria’s most challenging and rewarding. It is planned to reach the summit via the Eskdale Spur Track with an elevation gain of 1487 metres over a relatively short distance, so you must have a high level of fitness and experience and be comfortable with heights . This walk will start from the beginning of the Eskdale Spur Track and take us past Michell Hut where we will take a break before tackling the steep, exposed section to the summit. The weather can be variable at this altitude and thunderstorms and snow showers are possible even at this time of the year. PLEASE NOTE: For this walk to go ahead 4WD vehicles are necessary to get hikers from the Mountain Creek campground to the trailhead, so I’m hoping someone with such a vehicle will book in!
