While this is a short trail, once you leave the flatter stony creekbed section, the steeper climbing up the rocky outcrop still requires a high level of fitness. At the trail end, you come across a flat section on the flank of the rocky outcrop with fine views across the plains.
In the foreground, you notice a line of rivergums flanking the Lyons River and Cattle Pool. The Godfrey Range breaks the horizon to the north. You may linger for a while, so allow up to two hours for this trail. Only for very fit and experienced bushwalkers.
