For a less strenuous challenge to the Summit Trail, many hikers get their lookout fix on this one. Not that you should underestimate this trail too much. If you are prone to taking frequent rest stops masquerading as photo stops, you could take up to 4 hours to bag this trail.
Edney's Trail takes you to Edney's Lookout where expansive views make it well worth the effort. In reality, this walk trail is really an extension of the Ooramboo Trail. This difficult trail is for very expereinced bushwalkers with a high level of fitness.
