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.

OTHER INFORMATION
Our walks are all about fun, fitness and friendship - not a personal training session. If we cannot walk and talk at the same time we are walking too fast! And we never leave anyone behind.
