Snow-covered for most of the year, Mt Hartz dominates the landscape with jagged dolorite ranges dissecting the sky across the park. Snow lovers and admirers of native flora can experienceheavy snowfalls in winter and see bright red waratah blooms dotting the landscape in the spring. The park is also popular with bushwalkers with good walking tracks to Mt Picton and Federation Peak. Admission: National Parks charges apply.
