Grinnell Glacier Trail

Overview: The Grinnell Glacier Trail is a primary destination route in the Many Glacier valley, Glacier National Park. Geological Context: The trail provides direct access to an active glacial basin sitting beneath the Continental Divide. Booking & Logistics Reality: A timed-entry vehicle reservation is required for valley access. The path is characterized by mountain slopes and a final moraine ascent. Stage Breakdown: The route begins with a forested lakeside section, followed by a sustained climb along the walls of Mount Grinnell, culminating at Upper Grinnell Lake.

The Wilderness Coast Walk is a remote, point-to-point coastal trek of roughly 100 km, linking the Merrica River trailhead in South East NSW (Nadgee Nature Reserve) to Mallacoota Inlet in Gippsland, Victoria (Croajingolong National Park). The route traverses expansive sand dunes, sandstone headlands, and coastal heathlands along the Tasman Sea, with optional extensions to Green Cape. Navigation relies on tidal windows and topographic cues, as much of the track is unmarked. The walk passes through critical habitats for species such as the White-bellied Sea Eagle. Permits are required from NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service and Parks Victoria.
