Before we drove to the park we looked at sunrise at the beach near the cottage.
On the way it reminded me of Western PA with deer that had been hot on the road only it broke my heart it was kangaroos and wallabies.
This is an 8 km track and the most challenging in the national park. According to them: It is only challenged by those with good fitness and features rigorous climbs with steep sections of slippery rock and scrambling over boulders. Mt. Amos is one of the peaks of an area called the Hazards.
Beth wanted to do it. I agreed but several times along the way I almost went back. It was tough.
The first km is gravel track then it gets really tough. It is 4 km to the top. Though I grumbled all the way, I was more concerned with hugging granite boulders to not slide down the steep slopes, finding foot holds in crevices, and scrambling up rock faces.
Focusing on one section at a time kept me occupied and the view at the top made it totally worth it.
We ate lunch at the top to enjoy the view some more. The area belows is called wineglass bay. Not for the shape but because they used to bring whales ashore and bleed them, making the water red. What a horrible story!
Coming down I crab crawled or scooted down the faces. I was impressed we were up and down in 3 hours with minimal bleeding and clothing tears.
Muir’s beach to cool down the feet in the water.
