Travel Distance 160km

Details We will do the Mt Philp - Red Rock - Glen Rock circuit, of about 12 Km, which will take around 9 hours.

Since we have short days, we should aim to leave Neil St at 7.00 am. It takes about an hour to drive down to Glen Rock via Grantham and Mt Sylvia. The start point of the walk is near the first carpark, just as you enter the park. However the end is much nearer the main campground carpark, so to save walking back a couple of km along the road at the end the walk, it would be preferable to put most of the cars at the main carpark, and do a car shuffle back to the start.

The walk starts with a steep climb up an old 4WD track, gaining about 600m as we go around Mt Philp, and then down steeply and along the ridge on to Red Rock, with great views out over Dry Creek valley. From there we walk off-track along the ridges - a few more ups and downs - to Glen Rock, with good views along Blackfellows Creek valley. There is a steep descent off-track down from Glen Rock, back to the carpark.

Be prepared for steep climbs and descents. Walk rating about M 66. The round trip from Toowoomba is about 160 Km.

See you at Neil St, 7.00am departure.

Anyone who is not confident on steep slopes and rocks should contact me beforehand to discuss the difficulty.
