What the RACERS say
Testimonials
Planning to hike the trail during the early or late afternoon should provide good shade. Since the trailhead is well-marked and there are plenty of parking spaces, it’s also easy to stop for a snack or beverage on your way out. The views from the summit are worth the effort! However, make sure you have enough fuel to reach the mountain road if you choose to hike up: 4x4s are necessary in this area.

Swimming in the pool is a great way to enjoy the view. Don’t go swimming in summer though, it’s very hot. You should aim to finish by 8am so you can avoid the heat. Take your time and do it at your own pace – there’s no need to rush. In case you’re wondering, there is a smoother section further on where you can rest afterwards. Finally, when you reach the top, take a look around before climbing back down – the view is amazing!

The overhangs and cliffs are truly breathtaking, with their dramatic and ancient stalactite remnants. Following the track is a breeze and leads straight to the stunning lake. The walk is easy and can be completed in just 5.5 hours at a moderate pace, making it a great option for all skill levels.
