Mt Thomas Long Loop

From the DOC carpark head over the grassy area and take the track on the right, Summit Track. Follow this, crossing a style and then start to ascend.

Cross a small vehicle track, and continue up crossing a more defined forest road. (Left is the Forest Loop).

Continue going up and up till a few hundred meters from the summit you emerge onto a forest road, go left still ascending.

Once at the Mt Thomas summit take the track west heading across the ridge. You will start descending before you re-enter the trees. Descend down to the junction with Wooded Gully track, however do not take this track. Continue ahead, ascending once again, heading toward the second (unofficial) summit of Mt Thomas.

Not long after emerging from the trees is the junction of this track and two more tracks. One track leads to multiple destinations including Pinchgut Hut and Bob's Biv. The other track, the one you want to take at this junction, is the Ridge Track heading left and descending down.

Follow this all the way until you emerge on a forest road. Head left on the road, then another left at the next road junction. Follow this all the way down back to the carpark.
