The Hollow Mountain Walk, Grampians National Park, starts near the Hollow Mountain Carpark, on Mt Zero Road, leading up to the mountain peak and back. Explore the Grampians on this trail that takes you up Hollow Mountain, presenting stunning views of the rocky landscape all the way up. There are a number of caves which you can explore on the way to the peak, as well as massive overhanging rock walls. On the main trail, you’ll traverse the rocky plain following yellow arrows to guide you. The trail has some challenging sections which include steep scrambles and rock climbing, and it’s best to navigate these parts slowly and carefully. Be advised that there also are many jagged rocks and steep drops. During wet weather, the rocks may become slippery and dangerous to navigate. 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.
