Sun Valley Fire Trail

Located in the picturesque suburb of Sun Valley, Australia, Sun Valley Fire Trail is a hidden gem for nature lovers and hikers.

Nested between Warrimoo and Valley Heights, the trail is an out-and-back one that runs 3.6 miles in length, and is easily accessible from Rosenthal Lane.

The hike starts at the picturesque Rosenthal Lane and winds its way through large paddocks separated by electric wired boundary fencing before reaching some bushland. The trail is generally regarded as an easy one, and visitors can take an average of 1 hour and 19 minutes to complete the hike. While the trail is popular for hiking, running, and walking activities, visitors can still unwind and enjoy some solitude amidst nature during quieter times of the day.

Once visitors reach the valley floor, they can witness the stunning beauty of the area's fern gully forest, dominated by tree ferns and ground ferns, creating a canopy of sweeping green ferns that spread out as far as the eyes can see. The beauty of the valley floor unravels with each step, showcasing the pleasant serenity of the surroundings.

The Sun Valley Fire Trail is an all-year-round destination, but the best time to visit is during the cooler months, from March to November when the temperature is mild and pleasant. While hiking the trail, visitors should remember to bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and insect repellent, as well as wear comfortable shoes and clothing suitable for the hike. It is also a good idea to pack a picnic lunch and take a break at one of the many scenic spots along the trail.

Visitors can drive to Rosenthal Lane, where the Sun Valley Fire Trail begins, and find plenty of parking available for their vehicles. The trail
