Best done in a clockwise direction. Steady and sometimes steep climb up beside the Greta Stream (wet feet on crossings) and then steep sidling up to the highest point, then a 900 metre altitude descent down a sometimes rocky 4WD track to the bottom and a short ride back along the road to the starting point

You’re either extremely fit or in for a tough day if you tackle this on a regular bike. That said it’s a blast on an Ebike. Great views at the top on a good day and a fun descent down the back. Watch out for sniper rocks in the grasses and spikey bushes.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
