Gargantua to Rhyolite Trail

The Voyageur Trail Guide details this trail, which heads off in a different direction from the Gargantua Road Trail, as one that is best characterized by high cliffs. The footpath makes dramatic changes in elevation - so this trail requires your full attention!

There are campsites along the trail at intervals, the trail even meanders along the top of the cliffs for nearly a km. There are great rock formations at Rhyolite Cove, take your time getting there, there is room for up to 4 tents, after this demanding hike you'll want a rest!
