Description
This walk starts at the Orroral Tracking Station picnic area. The well-signposted track heads in a roughly westerly direction into the tree line where it becomes quite steep. There are some good views from the track back towards the Orroral Valley.
Eventually we made it up to the Lunar Laser Ranger building on the top of the ridge.
Here there was a fenced lookout with spectacular views over the valley below.
We went back to the picnic area the same way we came up. Given the quality of some of the above photographs my camera was retired from active service as soon as I returned from this bushwalk. This is a really nice short walk. A great introduction to the Orroral Valley.
