Due to unforseen circumstances our planned trip will not allow us to do the full overland track.
I would like to do a 3-4 day round trip hike starting and finishing at cradle mountain that would allow us to see as many as possible or the more spectacular spots in the area.
We are prepared for a multi day hike so they do not have to be day trips.
Thank you for your kind consideration.

when will you be going?? maybe a 3 day loop starting at ronnie creek, past crater lake and kitchen hut (summit cradle) and staying at waterfall valley first night - walk to lake will and the waterfall and summit barn bluff next day, then head towards scott kilvert and include mt emmett?? stay at the hut that night and head out towards lake dove the last day, maybe climbing up little horn or visiting the tarns behind hansen peak on the way.

If your keen Mt. Inglis could also easily fit into that time frame. You'd want be comfortable with a bit of scrub and nav though. To do this you could climb Barn Bluff, then skirt round the side, descending to Lake Will. Lake Will would be a nice campsite. Depends on how fit, keen and experienced you are.
