Sturt Valley Loop

Distance: 12 km
Duration 3 hrs 20 min
Ascent: 458 m
Difficulty: Moderate level 4

Join me on this splendid walk around an extended loop of the Sturt River gorge. Come revisit the gorge from a different approach. The trail has few medium climbs, lots of shade, and few creek crossings, mostly along single-file walking trails by shear cliff-faces. This is a moderate level hike which caters to people who are physically active. You must be able to walk at a relatively fast pace to keep up with the group.

Meet at the end of Riverside Drive in Bedford Park (see pin drop) . Meet at 8.50 am for introductions, and be ready for departure at 9 am sharp. Good hiking shoes are recommended. Plenty of water, sunscreen and hat are a must!
Bring some snacks to have during our ten-minute break at the top of the hill with sweeping views.
