Walking up the Rees Valley.
The Forbes Mountains

Beautiful sunny weather and 
fantastic mountain views. 
Mt Earnslaw. Just the right time 
and place for lunch

The final steep climb to Rees Saddle (1447m).  Care is required when wet or covered with snow.  If clear skies,
the saddle  provides good views of peaks & valleys and is the place to stop for lunch and to take all in.  About 4km from Shelter Hut.

Heading down the Upper Snowy Creek   Passing tarns above the creek.
Take care.  The route can be
dangerous when wet or covered 
with snow.

Good views of the Upper Dart Valley.
Glaciers can be seen in the distance.

... Buttercups seen on the track down to Dart Hut (20 bunk, 3 flush toilets). 
Was full at night.  Excellent campsites just before you cross the bridge/
Snowy Creek.  A day hike up to Dart Glacier & Cascade Saddle was abandoned due to rain & cloud

Dart River 
and The Barrier Range in the distance
