A great hiking trail which starts at Waterfall Gully carpark to the top of Mount Lofty.Steep in the last section but worth the views. It can get busy on the weekends.This trail crosses over with many other walking trails that criss cross the Adelaide Hills.Another favourite for when you want the coolness of a gully is Chambers Gully accessed also from Waterfall Gully road. If you have a car this hike is only a few minutes away.
