Walshs Pyramid Trailhead

Highlight • Trail

The solitary peak of Walshs Pyramid rises 900 meters over the surrounding landscape, and you journey to the top begins here. Now is the time to double check that you have enough water, at least 3-4 liters, and that you have plenty of sun protection before striking out toward the summit.

Walshs Pyramid Track

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The route to the summit of Walshs Pyramid is a well-kept track that begins under cover of lush vegetation. However, as the altitude increases the leafy coverage gives way to rocky outcroppings and short sections that require a bit of scrambling. It's best to start your hike early in the morning in order to avoid hiking in the midday heat. Also, sun protection is a must as there are many exposed sections as you approach the summit.

Walshs Pyramid

Highlight • Summit

The track up Walshs Pyramid (6km return) is steep, rocky and exposed with no shade for longer stretches. From up there, you are rewarded with stunning 360 degree views of the surrounding ranges and landscape.
