This is a multi-day hike that takes you behind Mount Decoeli to a high sub-alpine plateau. The route is varied between creek crossings, rock moraines and tussocks. There are multiple places to camp along the route, and a day hike the next day or overnight trip to Kimberley Meadows is also an option.

That being said, you definitely do need some level of fitness to complete this, but it is a great beginners hike! It is a nice short t...
