Starting from Mount Beauty we follow the marked cross country mountain bike trail up hill for about 1 1/2 hours. It is not a steep climb as the bikes go up this trail not down, there are two very short steeper bits once we leave the bike trail (about100 mtrs). Once at the top it’s gradual downhill  to the West Kiewa Power station lookout and 2 waterfalls. We retrace some of the walk before heading back to the cars on different trails.

There may also be time to go down the Gorge, a short  interesting walk along the track to the river.  **Unfortunately there is too much water coming down at the moment to walk the last bit into the canyon .

The walk is on bike trails, foot pads, dirt roads and fire trails and is approx 13 kms.
