Bee Hive Falls Trail

Where: Within Grampians National Park Length: 1.4 kilometres Walk: 40 minutes one way Track: Moderate Grade: Moderate Start: Beehive Falls car park Finish: Beehive Falls car park Nearby: Halls Gap Best time: Spring

The rugged cliffs and craggy escarpments of the Grampians are dotted with many waterfalls, including the picturesque Beehive Falls that drop into a sheltered rocky valley.

This gently undulating track follows the meandering Mud Hut Creek upstream, through forest to a series of rock steps and on to the falls, surrounded by colourful cliffs. At Beehive Falls delicate ferns and mosses cling to the sheer rock walls as the cascade tumbles over huge boulders in its 25-metre drop. Large stones beside the rock pool at the base of the falls make a peaceful picnic spot. Return by the same route.

The walk is especially beautiful in spring, when water levels are high and the display of pink and white wildflowers spectacular.
