LET'S GO

STARTING AREA

Peel your eyes and be vigilant to the over hanging ribbon because  this will lead you towards the summit of Mt. Cameron.

When you reach the open section of the trail...you will have a warm greeting from the summit as if it's inviting  you! This section have some beehive around so be careful not to get stung!

Mount Cameron Summit

The Beautiful Mount Nicholson, on the right side of this photo is where I descend and this is the quickest way to meet Mount Cameron but the other descend to the right side will lead you down to Hong Kong Trail Section 4 and it's a bit longer to finish than the left descend.

Here is the trail leading down from mount Cameron and along the trail U will always have Mount Nicholson  ahead of you. You will have to negotiate thru the rusty old pipes that used to supply the neighboring community.

VIEWING ROCK
A perfect place to chill and take a few memorabilia (Photos) of you and the mountain rage ahead, specially the  section where U can see "HAPPY VALLEY" and "The Victoria Harbour"

END ZONE
You will have to take this couple of steps and pass around the gateway.

DONE!

THE CHOICE IS YOUR!
Here is the section where you can end your journey. Whichever you choose will lead you back easily to the city and you will be walking thru the tarmac once again.
