Description
An easy out and back from Gebbies Pass to the Packhorse hut ... trail is easy to follow once off the 4wd access road. Mostly climbing through pine forest with a couple of k's of nice sweet single track along the edge of the hill before you reach the hut, then an awesome downhill blat back to the cars.
