Trail reviews for Nangar National Park
Challenging hike on a variety of tracks (4WD, marked path, goat trail ). There were sections particularly the link tracks and the walk out to end of Mt Murga from the cairn post which needed vigilance in navigation. Some were marked while others weren’t. Many of the marked trees have fallen over. Rocky scramble, heart racing workout, would do it again! Didn’t see anyone on the track until I bumped into a couple at the top of Mt Murga and that was it the whole way. Perfect. Spring is a great time to go, saw lots of wildflowers particularly on Nangar side.
