Mt Van Dyke
Highlights
- Challenge yourself with a steep 45-minute climb through lush forest for stunning alpine views.
- Experience 360-degree panoramas similar to those from Mt Roland and Mt Claude at the summit.
- Follow the main track for a rewarding circuit that showcases the area's natural beauty.
- Enjoy a picnic at the carpark before or after your invigorating hike in Gowrie Park.
For fit walkers: three to five hours return or a circuit.
Similar 360 degree panoramic views to those from Mt Roland and Mt Claude. Follow the main Mt Roland walk and turn right after 700 metres for a steep 45 minute climb through the forest, before taking a left turn at the intersection. The track climbs very steeply with a few awkward sections for about 30 minutes before entering the alpine area above the trees.
The summit, a small rise covered with boulders, is to the right via a 10 minute walk off the main track. Return to the car park by the same route or, for the circuit, keep walking north on the main track for about 30 minutes to a platform, where the track to the left leads to the car park.
