Overview
This is a challenging hike full of scrambling up, down, and across the Cathedral Ranges North section. This route is not for the faint-hearted but don’t worry, our guides are here to support you.
Starting from Cooks Mill, an easy trail wanders downstream adjacent to the river with an enchanted forest feel to it. After a few kilometres, we take a sharp left turn and things rapidly change as we start the steep ascent towards Cathedral Peak. The hike becomes exposed to the elements, so be prepared for a hot climb during summer or a wet and sometimes slippery winter trek. Experience the exhilaration of negotiating the rocky and windy trail along the razorback with spectacular views – it’s hard not to get distracted! We end the hike walking along big rocky steps to take us back down to the start. If you’re lucky, you may pass a small waterfall on the way back, usually during Winter or the wet season.
This is a sensational walk along the challenging and rewarding razorback! You’ll be feeling inspired and proud of your achievements as you make your way home for a well earned rest!

What our adventurers have said
"What a wonderful and challenging day. Thank you so much to the guides Bain and Bayley, as well as my fantastic group. Thank you for humouring me when I split my pants up the backside on the rocks. You guys were awesome, upbeat, and professional guides and kept everybody safe and happy all day. I absolutely loved it and very much look forward to seeing you guys again one day" - Sharon Riley
