Pound for pound, the Dead Horse Gap / Thredbo River track is probably my favourite of all hikes in the Snowy Mountains. Either downhill or flat – the hard uphill part can be done by the Kosciuszko Express chairlift from Thredbo’s Valley Terminal – you get stunning views of the mountains for the first leg of the walk, before descending below the tree line to Dead Horse Gap and returning to Thredbo along the Thredbo River trail, which is also beautiful.
On the last weekend before lockdown in March 2020, and shortly after the horrendous bushfires that had burned through large parts of the high country, we took advantage of glorious weather and had an amazing day.
