There is an established walk through three of the mountains that can be achieved in one day. It starts from the Myrtle Forest carpark and is 5 1/2 hrs in duration. Hikers are rewarded with lovely views of the New Norfolk, the Derwent River and east of Hobart city. This walk is a steadily climbing walk through a variety of vegetation types.
