EE15 Walk 13 – Cleland-Montacute
Walk grade
End-to-End 15
Description

This is a spectacular section of the Heysen trail as it passes through the native bushland of Cleland, Horsnell Gully and Morialta Conservation Parks and along roadsides, providing frequent vistas over Adelaide and the Hills.

Many ascents and descents can be expected and the walk length is 26km’s.  This is considered quite a demanding walk.

“The Heysen Trail walks are demanding and suitable for experienced walkers who have walked regularly in various terrain consisting of long-distance trails with some steep inclines/declines, irregular surface with loose uneven, slippery base. They have a walking time of about 5 to 7 hours and will require a good degree of physical fitness.”
