Planning a Trip to Ellis Brook Valley? Everything you need to know about Ellis Brook!
🌄 An Early Start: I recently visited Ellis Brook Valley, and starting early was the best decision. Just 35 minutes from Perth, it's a peaceful escape with stunning natural beauty. The 1.2 km loop to the viewing platform was my chosen trail, offering breathtaking views of the valley and surrounding landscape. It’s important to note that while the sixty foot falls is a highlight, half the trails are actually located at the start of the park, so you get a mix of scenery.
🍃 Perfect for Families or Solo Explorers: The walking trails are great for all ages and fitness levels, making it a versatile option whether you're on a solo adventure or with family. The park is perfect for a picnic as well, with plenty of spots to relax and enjoy the tranquil surroundings. I found the trail leading to the viewing platform easy to manage but still rewarding in terms of views.
🥾 A Scenic 1.2km Walk: The loop trail takes you through lush greenery, and while you’re not always next to the falls, the scenery is still captivating. The path is well-marked and offers beautiful views of the valley, making it a perfect short hike if you’re pressed for time but still want to take in nature’s beauty.
⚠️ Bring the Essentials: After my hike, I was glad to have my Car Seat Genie on hand. With dirt from the trail and some light sweat, it was essential to protect my car seats. If you’re heading to Ellis Brook, don’t forget sturdy shoes, water, and your Car Seat Genies to keep the car clean after your adventure.
