Mica Hill Trail (gravel path)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The first part of the trail up Mica Hill is a wide gravel path, and the views are already stunning at this elevation — but the best is yet to come.

Tip by

2.40 km

The trail narrows into a footpath as it climbs into the windswept highlands. The environment around you still boils with life — the plants just tend to be smaller, or you might even say wizened, by the climate they're growing in.

Mica Hill

Highlight • Summit

This hill is named for its outcrops of quartz and mica, but you'll want to linger for its 360-degree views of the highlands around you.
