Trig Trail

You'll discover why Trig Trail has earned its reputation as a rewarding medium-difficulty challenge near Tolbar. This 2.5 km route packs genuine terrain variety into a compact package, with an 11% grade that demands respect and keeps your driving skills sharp. The steep sections will test your vehicle's traction and your concentration, making this trail perfect for drivers looking to progress beyond beginner routes without tackling the most extreme challenges.

As you navigate Trig Trail, you'll encounter mixed terrain that transitions between rocky outcrops and rutted sections, each requiring different techniques and line choices. The surrounding landscape offers pleasant views of the local bushland, though you'll be focused on reading the trail ahead. The compact length means you can complete it in around 7 minutes of actual driving, but plan for longer if you're stopping to assess lines or recover from the tougher sections.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is in good mechanical condition—the steep grade and rough patches demand reliable brakes and solid ground clearance. Check tire pressure and tread depth carefully, as the rocky sections can be unforgiving. Bring water and basic recovery gear, and consider visiting the trail during daylight hours. Using the Newtracs app's trail tracking feature will help you stay oriented and record your progress through this satisfying off-road experience.
