Route/Trail notes
This walk starts at Dalsetta carpark , in the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve (about 5min drive from the Visitors Centre). The walking trail crosses a grassy plain before becoming a sandy trail, as it heads to the Eliza Saddle and then onto the peak. The summit, with its an amazing granite formation, offers spectacular views over the ACT. Some scrambling/climbing required to get to the very top - look for a high & narrow cleft between two huge boulders.
Return the same way, or take the Gibraltar Fire Trail to form a loop.
Permits/Costs
Entry fee payable at Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve Visitor Centre ($13 for a single vehicle day pass in 2018)
