Practical details
Why it's worth checking out
The Red Arrow hiking track sits on Collins Avenue in Edge Hill, near Cairns within the Mount Whitfield Conservation Park in tropical Far North Queensland. A near-perfect 4.8 rating from 26 reviews reflects its standing as a genuine highlight.
The appeal is a lovely rainforest walk with rewarding views — a popular circuit track through tropical bush with lovely lookouts over Cairns, a genuine favourite for a walk, some exercise and connecting with nature close to the city and the botanic gardens. It's a lovely, free outing.
Bushwalking tracks have changing conditions and seasonal considerations (and the tropical north gets hot and humid), so check current details and any advisories before you go. Bring plenty of water, sun protection, insect repellent and sturdy footwear.
