The walk has 2 distinct loops. From lower car park you will walk along the road to upper car park, from where turning left, you climb to Deep View look out. Following Rocky Hill track and Moores track you will descend to Fox Dam.
From Fox Dam, following the track you reach Montacute Road, from where you need to turn back and climb Hikers’ Hill (Chapman’s track). You will end up at the intersection with Moores Track , Rocky Hill track completing the first loop. Turning left, take Centre track for a short distance and then Pylon Track and via Third Falls you will return to the car park.
Good level of fitness is required as the track is classified hard and involves steep hills down and up.
Hiker’s hill is one of the steepest and hardest in the area, but you can stop as many times required. The challenge will be rewarded in the end with great scenery and accomplishment of a hard walk. The ice cream van was a nice surprise at the end.
