You'll appreciate the Pinnacle Track for its perfect blend of accessibility and scenic reward—an ideal introduction to off-roading near Eildon if you're newer to 4WD driving. This 2.2 km route delivers surprising variety in a compact package, guiding you through open forest terrain with glimpses of the surrounding landscape that justify the short but purposeful climb. The well-defined track features a steady 8% grade that keeps things interesting without demanding advanced technical skills, making it achievable in around 10 minutes of actual driving time.

The real appeal lies in what you'll experience along the way.
