Embrace the wild on the exhilarating point-to-point Trappers Gap ride from Mount Beauty to Mitta Mitta. For those who thrive on steep climbs, thrilling long descents and being immersed in pristine nature, this unforgettable ride ticks all the boxes. Roll out of Mount Beauty on 10km of sealed country roads before ascending on bush tracks shared with 4WDs into rugged and remote bushland. Climb to altitude to enjoy changing scenery, abundant birdlife, and views of Mt Bogong and Mt Kosciuszko. As the route is very remote, only expert riders should take on this challenge, needing to be experienced and self-sufficient with a pre-organised lift or the fitness to return via the same route.
