• Cole - Hike Wineglass Bay trail

    10 oktober 2024 ⋅ 🌬 61 °F

    Started our 2 hour drive on National Highway A1 to Coles Bay around 7:30am. [Fun fact, A1 is the longest national highway in the world @ ~14,500km (~9,000mi)]. Regardless, it was nice to be traveling on a national highway, which reduced the amount of turns (and potholes!) dramatically, and thus we could drive faster. Australia is different than in the US because almost everyone follows the speed limit; whereas in the US, most of us find 5-10mi/hr over the limit an acceptable speed. We arrived in Coles and went directly to the visitor center and talked about trail options. Due to the high winds we decided to take the most popular hike, Wineglass Trail, to Wineglass Lookout. We hiked 3 trails as shown in the pictures and covered a total of around 5.6 miles with 1,500 feet of vertical. Afterward, we checked into our lodging for the next few nights which was a great 2 bedroom unit and had dinner at the local tavern.Meer informatie
