This is largely a straightforward in and out trail with some sections of lovely running single-trail, however at the top end the trail gets less clear where many people have explored the area around the rocky terrain.
This is worth doing as there is some amazing terrain.
Care needs to be taken if climbing on the rocks but overall it's a great place to explore.
At the top of the run is where in the 1929 Murchison Earthquake, half of the large hill at the end of the valley collapsed and fell into the valley. The photos don't do it justice, but when you are there you get a feel for the magnitude.
There is a carpark right over the road from the Trailhead.
