Let's explore another one of Adelaide's gems nestled right by the city in the suburb of Rostrevor (Hint it's not Morialta this time but almost as good and much more niche). Fox Hill, often overlooked in my observation as it is a modest conservation area but well worth the effort in my opinion. Meet at gate 8 Fox Hill Track (pictured) with ample parking on your left as you approach up Montacute rd. We will then continue on Chapmans Track, Moores Track before returning via Fox Hill Track.
Don't be deceived the first 1km is steep but safe as we will be traversing this upwards for the first 30 min and then all downhill thereon. Really a combination of a Grade 4 hard hike at the beginning and easy Grade 2 fire trails thereafter.
Total distance is a mere 5.6kms for those waiting in the ranks that are less keen on endurance this one's for you. There will be at least one notable landmark as we navigate this circuit as reward for effort put in at the start (almost 300m elevation gain).
Early start to avoid being caught out by the midday UV levels which are sneaking up on us. Let's enjoy a brisk hike and enjoy the best of nature after these early spring rains. If people enjoy this hike, I may consider an extended version part 2.
What to Bring:
- Sturdy footwear 🥾
