From the Tuohys Gully car park, a track climbs to Tuohys Saddle, at 1140m the highest point on the route. The track continues down on the right past Miners Hut (private) along a tributary of the Roaring Meg. Alternatively, a track leads left to the Meg Hut, about 1km away.
Continuing onward, a steep trail follows the Roaring Meg gorge, to end at Roaring Meg Dam. From here, a vehicle track leads down to the power station.
