***FULL*** TW4D (see Walk Grades page) Members Only Limit 6 Bring everything to be self-sufficient for a 4 day through walk The Scenic Rim Trail is rough, steep and difficult to traverse with a distance of 47 kilometres over 4 days/3 nights. There are some sections of easier, well-formed walking tracks and management trails. Be aware of what to expect and how to deal with the conditions. Check the website .... parks.des.qld.gov.au/parks/scenic-rim-trail/walking The trail is classified by National Parks as Grade 5 being unformed and unmarked track likely to be rough, very steep and difficult, with many obstacles. Suitable for very experienced bushwalkers with a high level of fitness, and specialist skills in map reading, navigation and emergency first aid. Additional trail-specific information provided by National Parks • In places the trail is indistinct, in others it follows formed walking tracks or old forest roads. • Major trail junctions are signed and triangular orange trail markers show the way in some spots. Be aware that large sections of the trail may be extensively overgrown; hazards such as fallen trees, loose rocks and slippery surfaces are present. • Caution is needed near cliff edges and naturally occurring lookouts, at creek crossings and on slippery, muddy sections. • During rain, the track becomes slippery and walking more difficult, more tiring and more time consuming. • Walkers need to be self-reliant, and to prepare for exposure to the elements or rapid changes in weather.
