Rob Roy Range Nature Reserve Loop Trail

This walk is a loop route that connects the northern section of the reserve with the south/western side. Starting in the north, we will head along foot pads and off trail south west along various gullies and spurs until we join the fire trail leading to Big Monks. From Big Monks we continue along the various knolls and spurs to the south before veering north west followed by a very steep ascent off-trail along a spur to meet up with the fire trail and foot pad that leads to Mt Rob Roy. From Mt Rob Roy we head north along the fire trail enjoying the vista from various vantage points before heading to the north west off trail through the woodland forest following a series of spurs and gullies and with one last climb to take in the views of the reserve and back to the start. The walk will be predominately off-trail, criss-crossing the undulating landscape with some very steep sections and rocky/grassy slopes that are slippery and/or unstable under foot with varying thickness of vegetation from open grasslands to moderate-thick scrub. Walking pole(s) and gloves might be useful at times and gaiters and/or long pants a must to protect legs. Due to the nature of the terrain, length of the walk and elevation gain/loss this walk is best suited for strong walkers whom are comfortable off track.
