WALK DETAILS
This beautiful nature walk is just over 4km and includes a mix of wide and single trails within the stunning Black Hill Conservation Park. Allow up to 2 hours for this walk depending on group pace.
Our walk includes a gradual climb up Ghost Tree Gully Track and the Summit Nature Trail with a short steep section before a gradual descent winding down to Addison Avenue. We will walk a slower pace, stopping along the way to enjoy the scenery and hunt for wildflowers. Expect some stunning views of Adelaide!
This is a moderate to challenging walk and includes some short steep sections with some areas of the trail being rocky and potentially slippery. Hiking poles are recommended.
