Note that this track starts and ends at two points on Palmer Road 9km apart. It would be a good idea to drop a mountain bike at one end of the track before setting off.
From the car park at the end of Palmer Road, a track skirts the farm flats to reach the Robinson River. It continues up to Mid and Top Robinson Huts, crossing Robinson Saddle on a poled route and dropping down valley to the Lake Christabel Hut. From here, the track skirts the lake out to Palmer Road.
