4.4 kilometres

The Mini Palms Trail is a challenging 4.4km return trail from the Bloodwoods carpark which follows the Escarpment Trail for 1km before turning off to follow a dry, stony creek bed. The trail continues with steep slopes, narrow edges and large boulders to climb over, under or squeeze between before reaching two viewing platforms surrounded by Livistona palms, looking into an amphitheatre filled with tiny palms.
