Exploring the mountains of the Scenic Rim
Take in the stunning mountainous views that the Scenic Rim is renowned for while learning from your experienced guides as they share their knowledge of the natural world around you.
On day one you can expect to warm the heart with approx. 500m of elevation gain. The trails vary from Grade 3 and Grade 5 depending on the specific route.
The terrain is rocky and uneven requiring good balance and stability. Your aerobic fitness and strong legs will help you to navigate the trail with confidence.
