Saint Valentines Peak is a 5.3 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located near Hampshire, Tasmania, Australia that features a great forest setting and is rated as difficult. The trail is primarily used for hiking and walking. Dogs are also able to use this trail.
Scrubby and a bit muddy start, then a fire trail before passing through a mossy forest for before the final steep rocky ascent. The summit offers amazing panoramic views from a wooden deck lookout - could see Mt Roland, Cradle, Barn Bluff, Dial Ranges etc. Recommend to pack extra layers as it got cold very quickly and the weather is known to change rapidly at higher altitudes.
Incredible views. Slightly overgrown at the top but worth the bash.
An amazing 360° panoramic view from the peak that takes in Cradle Mountain and Bass Strait. Well marked trail the whole way. A steady climb through forest to reach the exposed alpine top with a traverse to the peak. Some rock clambering in this section.
Nice hike but trail very overgrown throughout low and high sections.
