Name: Grampians Peaks Trail Victoria 🥾⛺- 10 days 🌄
Start: 2024-11-28T06:30:00+10:00
End: 2024-12-07T17:00:00+10:00

Experience the best parts of the Grampians Peaks Trail over a 10 day walk (including a rest day in the middle).

Information on the walk is available here: [https://www.parks.vic.gov.au/places-to-see/parks/grampians-national-park/things-to-do/grampians-peaks-trail/the-full-grampians-peaks-trail](https://www.parks.vic.gov.au/places-to-see/parks/grampians-national-park/things-to-do/grampians-peaks-trail/the-full-grampians-peaks-trail)

Starting at the Mt Zero trail head, we’ll traverse ridges and exposed rocky battlements, cross creeks and and experience amazing views to walk around 60km over 4 days. On the way, we’ll summit Mt Zero (side trip) and Mt Difficult (Gar) before arriving in Halls Gap on the 4th night.

We'll have two nights in Halls Gap to allow a full rest day mid-way through the trip.

We’ll then walk approximately 60 km over the next 5 days, crossing the Pinnacle, stone gorges and gnarly, weathered rock formations in the Wonderland Range, Mount Rosea and Mt William before descending down into the sheltered woodland valleys and finishing our walk at the Yarram Gap Rd crossing. Hopefully we will catch the wildflowers that this section is renowned for.

This walk is suitable for self-sufficient walkers of average-good fitness able to plan for and carry out multi-day walks. You will need to be able to carry your gear and 5 days of food for the last section.

The walk is mainly Grade 4 with some Grade 5 sections. The biggest elevation change in one day is 320 m to 1017 m (think of climbing Mt Maroon with your backpack as a comparison).

Cost Estimate:

\~$110 - $160 for shuttle bus - depending on numbers
\~$20 for a food drop at Halls Gap ( or post to your accommodation)
\~$20 contribution for fuel costs for our car at the end of the walk
\~$182- $242 for camping depending on numbers. The camping fees are relatively expensive and are per two people sharing a campsite. If we have an even number of people, cost will be just under $182 per person but if we have an uneven number we will divide up and it will be slightly more expensive.
\- accommodation in Halls Gap $2 nights$ $tent\, cabin\, pub$
-transport to Halls Gap, accommodation before/after walk, travel insurance and other personal expenses.

Deposit:
Please consider the camping costs as probably non-refundable, unless someone can take your spot.
We will need to book and pay as early as possible in October to secure the campsites and Victorian Parks have a sliding scale for refunds and don’t do late cancellations.
If we start with an even number and one person drops out, the cost is the same for the rest of the group.

1\. Sign up
2\. Send me $Carmel K$ a meetup message with your phone number and email address so that I can contact you with details and to organise a catch up to work out logistics\.
3\. Pay camping and shuttle costs to allow group booking $first half of October$\.
