This trail follows the Grampians Peak Trail south from Halls Gap to Borough Huts Campground.

Starting from the turnoff from Grampians Road to Folkes Road in the centre of Halls Gap, follow the markers for the Grampians Peaks Trail heading out of town along Stoney Creek - initially heading west and then following the river as it bends south. The track will turn more and more rocky as you gain height, and from here for most of the rest of the trail you can expect to be rock hopping most of the time.

The trail will take you past Wonderland Carpark (do not turn off here) and the Sundial Carpark - if you want to meet up with any support crew helping with the logistics needed on this one-way trail. Make sure to take the turnoff to Pinnacles Viewpoint between the two carparks along the ridge as you gain height and make the ridge proper.

You'll drop down from Sundial Carpark past Bugiga Hiker Camp and cross Silverband Road. From here you will sharply climb up to Mt Rosea before dropping finally to the valley - where you'll find the endpoint at Borough Huts Campground and Grampians Road again. There is a 10km road section which can either be run, hitchhiked or have a transfer with a tour operator.

Multiple great viewpoints over Lake Bellfield.

Public toilets are at the campgrounds at Halls Gap, Bugiga and Borough Huts Campgrounds.

Plenty of parking near the trailhead in Halls Gap.
