Keeping my Trailblazer Fitness

Just a couple of quick evening loop hikes around Morialta to keep my Trailblazer fitness

Morialta Conservation Park




Second Falls Gorge Hike
Time 2.5 hr return
Distance 5.3 km loop

Trail Notes
This trail skirts the rim of the escarpment and offers outstanding views of the gorge from First Falls and Second Falls lookouts. Stretch your legs and ascend the steep slope to Deep View Lookout for a view of the city. The first 700 m is a heart starter! If you prefer an easier gradient, hike in an anti-clockwise direction.
