Trail reviews for Lesueur National Park
Great trail. On the easier side of moderate. Mr Lesueur has about 100m elevation gain and it's a bit of a rocky scramble in some places. Views are spectacular on the west side, but is mainly of farm land as you reach the trail end. The Gairdner loop back to the car park is not particularly challenging, but gives you a bit of shade in places. The flora is spectacular and nothing like what I'm used to in Victoria. Recommend starting early on hot days and wearing long sleeves and long pants, not just for sun protection, but also due to the plethora of spiky shrubs that hang over the path.
