Scout Hiking & Camping in Western Australia
Red Cord - Echidna Trail
Red Cord - Echidna Trail
Nice hike, some steep bits, excellent views over the park and valley. There is a fire tower half way round the circuit where it’s good to take a break. Syd’s Rapids is a good place to stop for a while - and it’s flat and downhill from there back to the carpark if you follow the map in the usual clockwise direction. After the hike stop for a BBQ at the BBQ’s provided at the Walyunga Pool carpark.
