  • Frenchmans Cap
    Frenchmans Cap 2 days to 4 days 5 44.2 km ↑ 3215 m Very challenging Return ↓ 3215 m Starting from the Frenchmans Cap Carpark on the Lyell Highway, Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park, this walk leads to the summit of Frenchmans Cap and back via the Frenchmans Cap Track. This strenuous hike takes you to one of the most remarkable mountain peaks in South-West Tasmania. From the top, the view is nothing short of incredible, with Tasmania’s rugged Wilderness World Heritage Area stretching as far as you can see. The journey to the summit includes a wonderfully varied mix of landscapes – golden-hued button grass moorlands, fragrant Eucalypt forests, moss-strewn rainforests, and the resilient wonders of the alpine flora. There are two huts, Lake Vera Hut and Lake Tahune Hut, along the track as well as several designated campsites. Climbing the summit requires some rock scrambling, and this final ascent should only be attempted if the weather is clear enough. The weather at Frenchmans Cap is highly unpredictable, and the trail will be wet, muddy and demandingly steep at times. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. 1,470 1,248 1,026 804 582 360 0 m 11 km 21 km 1.1 km 2.2 km 3.3 km 4.4 km 6.6 km 8.8 km 9.9 km 5x 5.5 km 7.7 km 13.2 km 14.3 km 12.1 km 15.4 km 16.5 km 17.6 km 18.8 km 19.9 km 22.1 km Class 5 of 6 Rough unclear track Quality of track Rough track, where fallen trees and other obstacles are likely (4/6) Gradient Very steep
