It was misty as we arrived at Gerritys carpark at Lake Mountain and undeterred we set off for a 14 kilometre return trip to Keppel Hut. Low cloud that hung mysteriously amongst the snow gums obscuring
the view into the valleys. From the carpark at the Lake Mountain resort, we
wandered along the well maintained cross country ski trails, enjoying the cool
weather and each other’s company.
The ski trail snow poles accurately measured
our journey and we soon we came up end of the well maintained trails. From
here, we joined a less well maintained trail and set off on an exploration into
the unknown. Well, not quite unknown, as the trail took us to a well maintained
cattleman’s hut, Keppell Hut and a very well maintained 4-wheel drive road!
We enjoyed lunch at the picnic tables next to the hut. The
trail to the hut included a very long downhill and a very long uphill which
didn’t seem quite so bad on the way out. On our journey back, we were treated by a brief thunderstorm
that added to the atmosphere of the day. I must admit, I was very pleased to
see the cars as we arrived back to the car park. A great day’s adventure.
