Like Rapunzel’s Tower, the enormous karri trees along this trail are unclimbable. However, you can conquer this hill on foot or on your bike to Hilltop Lookout where you’ll have a spectacular view out over Kwakoorillup Beela (Frankland River), the Nornalup Inlet and out to the Southern Ocean.
This trail is a single direction climb for cyclists. You can then descend from Hilltop Lookout via Robin’s Hood and follow Once Upon a Time back into Walpole.
Hikers, this trail is best walked in a clockwise direction in combination with Kingia’s Landing and the Bibbulmun Track. However, you are welcome to walk this trail in whatever direction you choose.
