Morning summer time stroll - Black Mountain Circuit with a coffee stop
Sat 14th Dec 2024
Part-day walk
A short morning walk in Black Mountain Nature Reserve. The aim will be to finish the walk before the temperate gets too hot. We'll walk up the Black Mountain Summit trail to where it intersects the loop track below the summit. We'll then follow the loop track until it crosses the sealed road to the summit. At this point we'll visit a number of lookouts before descending via the Lakeview and Bushland Nature Walk tracks. There are good views of central Canberra and Lake Burley Griffin along parts of these tracks. Towards the end of the walk we'll end up near the entrance to the National Botanic Gardens. We'll stop at the cafe in the Botanic Gardens for coffee before returning to the cars. We should be back at the cars by around 11:00am.
