I subsequently extended this route to visit Lake Hope itself, and an excellent viewpoint at point 2090m. Click here for that report :-)

Lovely photos.
I attempted to do a day hike to Lake Hope, but like you couldn’t find the track. I eventually went up the same trap line you did, but as I was alone, the thought of descending through steep bush while tired and not being able to see my footing didn’t appeal.
Bumped into a group who were going up Wye Creek to the skifield so tagged along with them after they generously offered a ride back to the Wye Creek carpark.
Look forward to going back to try again via the Two Mile hut.
Happy Travels, Russell
Hi Russell. Yeah, I first did this route with Sophia and felt more confident about going back to do it again by myself, which I did with an extension to the lake and a better viewpoint at 2090m.
