Starting from The Springs picnic area on Pinnacle Road, Wellington Park, this walk leads past Organ Pipes to The Chalet and back, via the Pinnacle and Organ Pipes tracks. The track runs at the base of the dolerite pillars that reach about 120 metres high. The trail starts with a gradual climb through mountain bushland to the Zig-Zag Track/Organ Pipes junction. Continuing right, the track evens out and for the next 3 km and is mostly flat. This section of the track is the most picturesque, with occasional breaks in the tree line providing magnificent views of Hobart and the Derwent River. Further along, the impressive pillars that make up the Organ Pipes come into view. Continuing past the Organ Pipes, the trail meets The Chalet on Pinnacle Road after passing two rock spree sections. Return the same way or arrange a pickup from The Chalet. Toilets, day shelters and picnic tables are located at The Springs and Fern Tree, and there is a day shelter at The Chalet. 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.
