Tour Overview
Distance: 4 km return
Time: 2 hours
Terrain/Elevation: Gentle/160-235m
The main trail follows an old roadbed as it skirts the base of the mountain. You will see unusual plants and rocks as you enjoy broad panoramic views.
- Geology here marks a time when the continents of Africa and North America collided, pushing these rocks, originally beneath the ocean, to their present position on land.
- Please stay on the trail as much as possible to avoid walking on the tiny rare plants that grow on this alien landscape.
- The trail ends in the glacially carved Winter House Brook Canyon.
There is no cell service at the Tablelands, so you must download the tour before going there. Because of the large download size, it is recommended that you do this using Wi-Fi.
