Loop Track

If you're seeking a challenging short burst that will test your 4WD's river-crossing capabilities, Loop Track near Upper Tooloom delivers exactly that. This hard-rated trail packs serious technical demands into just 1.2 km, making it perfect for experienced drivers who want concentrated difficulty without committing to a full-day adventure. You'll need to be comfortable with steep grades—the 13% gradient here is no joke—and confident in water crossings that demand proper line selection and vehicle control.

The terrain alternates between rocky ascents and river crossings that will keep you focused throughout the 32-minute run. You should expect tight, technical sections where precision matters more than speed; this isn't a trail to rush. The landscape around Upper Tooloom offers genuine scenic appeal as you navigate between crossings, but your attention will rightfully stay on the track ahead. Bring a spotter if possible, as the combination of grade and water hazards leaves little margin for error. Check water levels before heading out—crossings that are manageable in dry conditions can become serious obstacles after rain.

This trail has been conquered by experienced 4WD operators, but it's not for casual weekend warriors. Ensure your vehicle is in top mechanical condition, your tires have solid tread, and you have recovery gear ready.
