Description:
New bypass single track has opened between Peters Pass and the valley below, allowing you to avoid a very steep and rocky section of dirt road. It's called Waterfall Bypass. If you are coming from the St James end, look for it on your left at the lookout area, after the boardwalk section of trail.
