- Description
- Mount Banks High Traverse Walk starts from the Mount Banks car park/ picnic ground (/ toilets) and heads up along the tourist route.to the trig point. It cuts across to the Western Wall and 500m abseil point and continues south along the cliff edge for a couple of km. This requires a little light scrambling and has magnificent views of the valley. It then arrives at an end to the ridge, and we drop down a gully to the east to join the Mount Banks Cycle Track. After a few 100m south along the track it arrives at Water Tank Lookout. This will be the lunch point, after which we follow the cycle track back to the car park. This is a relatively straightforward walk with great views. It will last 5 to 6 hrs and I recommend taking a minimum of 2 litres water/ electrolyte.
