The King Jarrah Short Loop starts at the King Jarrah trailhead, located by the edge of the jarrah forest near Nanga Mill Campground.
This challenging Class 4 loop can be undertaken in either direction, but expect a steep section on the western side. Part of the trail traces the former transportation route of a once vibrant timber industry and weaves through jarrah forrest and rocky areas dominated by sheoak, bull banksia and karri hazel.
For those seeking a longer adventure, the King Jarrah Walk Trail offers an 18km, six-hour loop.
