Miner's Forest Retreat

This half-day guided walk begins in native Beech forest, and the track climbs through the forest and grassy meadows following a clear mountain stream. You’ll need a reasonable level of fitness to walk an ascending path that follows a sparklingly clear mountain brook. Through grassy meadows amidst towering peaks, you’ll encounter old campsites, stone shacks and miners’ water races and tailings. Your guide is well versed in the history, geology and engineering feats of the region and armed with a quiver of anecdotes from the days of gold- fever.
