Information

Deer Spur track

Time: 2 hr return

This steep but well formed track begins from the Blandswood Lookout, or can be joined near the bush line by either of the Allans Track approaches. Above the bush line the track becomes steeper, but the views and alpine flora are worth the effort. A small alpine tarn at about 900 metres makes a great lunch spot.
