Mount Hay
At a Glance
You can only get so close but you want to get closer and touch it as the view is amazing. Unfortunately NO BIKES past the end of Mt Hay Rd. If you want to get closer, bring a chain and lock plus some walking shoes.
Overall A decent ride with not to many steep hills. Trail was relatively smooth and the views are amazing.
There is parking and Information Signage near the Gate about 2km down the dirt Mt Hay rd.
Its all bout the Views! Check out "Flat Top" "The Pinnacles" "Butterbox Point" "Mount Hay" (yes, this ride is also known as "Butterbox Point" in some circles).
14kms of Dirt road with a few side tracks that could be explored for extra length.
Return trip is mostly uphill so can get a little tiring.
Mt Hay Rd is an open road to all Vehicles so when blurring down a hill, dont forget a car could be coming the other way.
Oh, and dont forget to check out the views from Flat Top. Its only a 10min walk.
Shops and Train Station can be found in Leura about 5km up from the trail head.
This is the trail head of Mount Hay Road. The gate here is only closed when National Parks are closed. A large information sign with a map is also found here. |
A short 10min walk will get you on Flat top for a fantastic near 360° view of the surrounding area.
