The start of Peak Charles Trail is well defined and has no markers. It takes you through open woodland across mildly undulating terrain with loose rocks to exposed rock at the base of Peak Charles.

From this point the trail is marked, and some high stepping onto rocks is required.

This section ends at Mushroom Rock, one of many intriguing rock formations on the slopes of Peak Charles. The trail continues from this point, onto the middle section known as Central Ridge.
