Description

Situated in scenic North-East Victoria, this run follows the Murray to the Mountains rail trail from Wangaratta along the old railway line up into Beechworth. The rail trail is completely sealed for the whole way and includes one of the steepest gradient increases allowed for trains at the time from Everton up to Beechworth. Not a huge climb, but a very long gradual increase in elevation along what looks to be a trail that goes on forever.

A slightly obscure peak in the Selkirk range, but a wonderful summit at that. The first mile or so is overgrown and requires a touch of route finding, which then leads you to a lovely ridge that'll take you to the top.

Baboquivari Peak is beyond words but I will try. First of all the formation is breathtaking, from a distance it stands as a lone sentinel over the desert landscape. It is essentially the granite heart of a mountain that has been exposed due to erosion over many years.
