This video gives you a run through of the beautiful scenic rim trail which covers 50km and 2700m+ of vertical gain across Main Range National Park in the Scenic Rim Region.
I did this route over two days. Most do it over 4 days and three nights staying at the three camps along the route which all have toilets and treatable water. I started the first day at the Thornton view trail head (where i was dropped off) and hiked approximately 30kms with an extra 3 kms where i met my partner and baby at Gordons country camping grounds.
Day two I ran, left gordons country campgrounds and ran 3 kms to pick up where i left off. then ran another 17kms to finish the scenic rim trail meeting my partner and bubba at the top of mount cordeaux. I had a little energy left so i then ran mount mitchell as well which is located across the road from the scenic rim trail finish.
