Outstanding. 5 minutes from the road you are in the Wilderness.

This hike will be markedly different depending which way you go round it. We did it clockwise which has the steep bit going up, then a gradual descent and boulders going down.

I should add that, if you have an annual pass to The Living Desert, you get early access hours before others. It is an incredible value.

Great hike. About 2 hours out and back. Great views as you hike along the ridge coming back (assuming anti-clockwise route). Bird watchers should watch out for excellent viewing in the Living Desert in early morning and near the trailhead (out on the hike) if you're coming in in early evening.

Thanks for all the trips here Cobber99 but 40 minutes? At a run maybe! Two hours both times we've done it and that's at a fast walk. I don't think this is quite a threatening in the winter. We hiked it in Feb and there were quite a few people alone. Perhaps it's busier then. But as you say, nice trail and plenty of bird-watching if you come down in the evening.

Give it a try and let me know what you think! With all the rain we have had - I bet the flowers will be just amazing!

How tough/steep are the scrambles? I'm thinking of trying this hike with my wife and I will have our kid in a child carrier.
