This walks starts from Coombs and makes it way across the Molonglo River on the fire trail for a climb up Bald Hill via a foot track. From here, its down through some light scrub to re-join the fire trail and then uphill to Barrer Hill for some great views across the Molonglo valley. We will then head over towards the Arboretum on a mix of single track MTB trails, open grassland and fire trails to make our way to Dairy Farmers Hill for a lovely lunch stop and magnificent views in every direction. We will head down from here and make our way into some Radiata Pine forests on more single tracks and fire trails to cross the Molonglo River once again back to the start.
The overall level of difficulty is medium but there are many hills.
