Evansdale

It’s time we head back to Evansdale Glen (see location). We’ve had some tremendous outings here in the past. More recently there has been flood damage along the lower stretches of Careys Creek, but the remediation work is complete. This run signals a return to steep trails, mud and water! Hooray! Meeting at Evansdale Glen (see location) we'll head out on the Careys Creek Track to the base of Rongimai Track. This then ascends steeply up towards Mountain Road in the Silver Peaks. A chance to stretch the legs on the flat of Mountain Road and upper part of the Honeycomb Track is welcomed. The descent then gets more serious as we navigate Honeycomb Track back to Careys Creek. Turning onto Careys Creek Track we'll enjoy the canter back to Evansdale Glen. Its a great outing and one that we should all enjoy. The ascents and descents up/down Rongimai and Honeycomb Tracks are decent so come prepared with good footwear and energy! There are several crossings of Careys Creek so be prepared for wet feet also. Unfortunately, dogs are prohibited by the local dog control bylaw for the majority of this route. Estimated distance of 12 km and approx. 650-700 m of total ascent. See you there!
