Whilst we don’t normally cover out-of-state trails, this one caught our interest in the nearby Grampians. Being less than 500km from Adelaide, the Grampians is a popular long-weekend destination for South Australian hikers.

The Grampians Peaks Trail is one of the Walk Victoria’s Icons new long distance trails. The first section is now complete and offers a 36 km, 3 day/2 night circuit walk departing from Halls Gap.

Be inspired by the spectacular outlook of rugged mountain peaks from the top of Mount Rosea, panoramic views from the Pinnacle Lookout, ancient rock features of the Grand Canyon and the rich cultural history of this truly iconic Grampians landscape.
