At approximately 2040m above sea level, Mount Stilwell is the highest peak in the ridgeline winding around the southern side of Charlotte Pass village. With arguably one of the best views in the Kosciusko National Park, Mount Stilwell's peak looks down at the village, and out across the main range to Headley Tarn, Blue Lake and Mount Twynam, and the Snowy River. There is also the lower half of an old trig point located at the peak which, when whole, was used for navigation.
