Waterfall Gully to Mt Lofty

A popular walking trail from Waterfall Gully to the summit of Mount Lofty climbing through native bushland in the Adelaide Hills just 15 minutes from the city. The walk begins at a historic waterfall in a fern-lined gully before ascending steeply through stringybark forest. From the summit views extend across the Adelaide Plains to the sea. A favourite fitness walk for Adelaide locals and a great introduction to the Adelaide Hills.

Steep climb with over 400 metres elevation gain. Can be hot in summer so start early. Dogs allowed on leash. The summit cafe provides a welcome reward. Afternoon thunderstorms possible in summer.
