Trappers Gap Track

You'll find Trappers Gap Track an exciting challenge that rewards confident 4WD drivers with stunning alpine scenery and genuine terrain variety. This compact 2.2 km route near Mitta Mitta demands respect—its brutal 28% grade means you'll be navigating steep ascents and descents that separate experienced drivers from novices. Despite the short distance, you should expect around 7 minutes of intense, technical driving that tests your vehicle's capability and your own skill behind the wheel.

The terrain shifts dramatically as you climb, mixing rocky sections with rutted earth that can be treacherous in wet conditions. You'll experience genuine mountain driving without the commitment of longer alpine routes, making this ideal for sharpening your 4WD techniques or testing a vehicle's performance. The scenery throughout is spectacular—mountain views open up as you gain elevation, and the track itself winds through natural gaps that reveal why locals named it well.

Come prepared: this trail demands mechanically sound vehicles with good ground clearance and appropriate tires. Wet weather transforms the steep sections into serious hazards, so timing your visit matters. Only four vehicles have successfully logged this track on Newtracs, confirming it's not routine—that selectivity makes completing Trappers Gap a genuine achievement worth recording in the app.
