Mt Wills is a great introduction into overnight hiking, for anyone who is keen to try it out.
At 1751m, Mt Wills is one of the 30 peaks on the AAWT. Mt Wills is past Mitta Mitta on the Omeo Highway and is an extension of Long Spur that comes off the eastern side of Mount Bogong. The summit is a broad ridge that drops away into gullies, covered in open snow gum woodland, with big old trees, grasses, granite boulders and outcrops. We will take the shortest way in, via a 2WD track off the Omeo highway to the Tallangatta ski club for our walk to the summit. This area is ringed by a broken cliff-line and steep slopes on the east, with fantastic views in all directions, back up to the High Plains and as far as the Main Range of the Snowies. We will camp at the summit where there is a great hut, toilet, and water tank and the most spectacular sunsets and sunrises.
Approximate distance: 10km return. Ascent/Descent about 500m
