The trail is marked. For safety, stay on the marked paths and only walk it if weather permitting.
It is just a 4km walk but there is plenty to see. The steps route to the summit is so beautiful with the spectacular granite rocks. Start early to make the most of your time.
After completing the Hanging Rock walk, we then drove to Camels Hump for the sunset view. Camels Hump is approximately 4.2 km south of Hanging Rock as the crow flies, but considerably further by road.
