Trail Running to the summit of Mt Feathertop

Last-minute decisions make for great adventures, so right before starting our drive home, we decided to jog up Mt Feathertop. The trail starts from Diamantina Hut and ends at the summit of Feathertop, featuring a very exposed, well-marked ridgeline. It’s a 22km out-and-back affair and can be quite challenging in a couple of rocky spots. It gets really hot in the summer, so pack some snacks and plenty of water before heading out; the views from the summit are unmatched.
