Riverrun is an absolute must if you're looking for the full Giants Trails experience. Just like the river, this trail ebbs and flows and will keep you spellbound along its full length. 

Riverrun is not for those scared of heights though! The traverse along the Frankland River valley reaches dizzying heights with sheer drops to the valley floor below.

Start your quest in Walpole and follow Once Upon a Time and Kingia's Landing to the start of Riverrun. Riverrun takes you through towering karri and tingle forest, past granite outcrops and challenging sandy sections before you hit the downhill flowing curves built into the steep sides of the Frankland River valley. Stop for lunch at Sappers Bridge while you ponder your next move. The mighty Munda Biddi Trail is ahead of you. Will you head west back to Walpole or will you continue riding east towards the Valley of the Giants?

You can do Riverrun as a half day ride and follow the Munda Biddi Trail back to Walpole or make it an epic tale by continuing onwards towards the Valley of the Giants. 

The long distance option will keep you enchanted for a full day with plenty of challenges and adventures along the way.
