Accessed off part of the Arrow River bridges trail, this trail starts at the top of a local’s favourite trail, Tobins Track, and after a punchy climb it opens up to 360 degree views of the basin and beyond!
Park or start from Arrowtown, and follow the Millenium trail up to Tobins bridge and the start of Tobins track. Walk up Tobins track until you come to the bench and view point at the top of the track. The 4wd track continues on around the corner and you'll come to a small junction. Directly ahead of you is the Queenstown Trail sign for the start of the Mt Beetham walk.
