We did Murrin Loop and Jurassic Ridge Trail.
Beautiful view with very little km. However, this is not for the faint of hearts or families with smaller child.
The ladders and ropes I’ve read about before heading there seemed fun, until you realize they are on the side of a cliff. So it’s not really suitable for younger children. And once you are up there, you don’t really have any choice but to continue. It’s steep going up or down, so once you are up there, you have to decline either way.
We have done a bit of hiking with the kids but this one isn’t really safe for them imo. View is stunning and the weather was great for us too. And I myself would avoid if it’s rainy or wet, because there are a lot of climbing down on rocks which could be dangerous.
View is great and amazing, ladders, stairs and ropes are fun if you don’t mind quite a bit of them are close to a cliff. It took us almost 4 hours to complete with...

The water is ok clean and many families with kids have a lot of fun. Plenty picnic tables compared to parking spots and in well maintained clean area. It's next to water access so can watch over children easily.
Hiking has 2 routes. Very flat and easy short around the lake. It does border the highway so cars and noise an issue. Or can just double back in the nicely shaded cool forest. Second route is about half hour to top and return is by doubling back. This is more advanced with much vertical and routes that are not necessarily paved nor upkept. Do avoid if you're not ready for tight spots with cliff. The hot 30+ Celsius weather can cause dizziness leading to accidents. Bring plenty of water.
Plenty climbing spots again compared to parking. Beginner to...
Read moreThis is an awesome location anytime of the year. in the summer gets a bit crowded so best to get there early in the day. If you're a serious climber this place has some amazing vertical rock faces to practice on. if you go there for climbing you'll probably run into some cool locals that are practicing as well. Last time I was there we did really crazy 1 km hiking along a trail called Rainbow Unicorn. Eventually let us do an interesting climb but you better be a pretty advanced climate to tackle this wall. if you're into hiking this place also is a great place to park if you're going to do the Gill lake hike. This is a grueling several hour hike and I don't recommend it for people that are not in great shape. I've done this hike about seven times and every time it's been amazing. One time we did it in the middle of winter -6 Celsius, and still we enjoyed ourselves. But...
