A challenging yet doable uphill hike to the summit of Mt. Lofty. Plan accordingly. We'll groomed trails through the bush. Quite peaceful even though the trails were busy. Cleland Wildlife Park is lovely. Spacious and relaxing. Do not miss the Rock wallabies. Active little things.

I really enjoyed this full day of hiking to the Mount Lofty summit and then onto the wildlife park. Tour guide was very helpful with lots of information and recommendations. We took our time and enjoyed the scenery and eateries along the way. A really great way to see what the Adelaide hills has to offer.
