A marked walking trail to the summit can be reached via Mount Franklin Road. The summit is accessible by bush walking trails and requires no specialised climbing skills. It is located close toBrindabella Station where the Australian author Miles Franklin once lived and the mountain is named after her family.

Nowadays, cross country skiing is possible in the area during winter, when conditions allow.
