High Country

Overview

Ranging from alpine ash forests to open, grassy, high plains where the mountain cattlemen graze their stock in the summer months, the rugged beauty of this region is awe inspiring.
 
There are remote valleys with crystal clear streams and river-flats ideal for camping, many of which are only, accessible by tough 4WD trails.
