The Sentinel is the most spectacular peak in Kosciuszko National Park, New South Wales.
Whilst Aries Tors are Amazing Rock formations in The Ramshead Range, which are very popular with hikers & photographers.
Whether you’re new to walking and camping, or an experienced hiker, these walks suit everyone. If you’re a photographer you’ll love the amazing sunrises and sunsets, lookouts, waterfalls & scenic lookouts close to camp.
Aries Tors is an easier walk carrying overnight packs for only two hours to camp, with an option to climb Mt Kosciuszko, Mt Ramshead or Cootabatamba hut on the second day.
Whereas The Sentinel walk is a longer 4 hours climb into camp with a stop to view Blue lake on the way & one morning at sunrise.

When to walk? The best time to walk tIn Kosciuszko National Park is from early November through to May as the weather is generally fine and the days are longer. Snow drifts remain until late in the year and spectacular alpine flowers bloom in the warmer months from December through to late January. Mid January to mid February are too hot to do extended walks. By mid February the mountains are starting to cool down with refreshing autumn mountain scenery & fading ridges at sunset. During winter and early spring walking is more difficult due to snow and weather conditions. Snowshoes are required and the walk is too challenging for most of the clients during these seasons.
