Hiking Pine Valley & The Acropolis Summit - 3 Days, 70km on the Overland Track | Tasmania

Three days. 70km. An unexpected night hike, cowboy camping without a tent for the first time ever, and a summit that completely exhausted us — but was worth every single step. We tackle Pine Valley and the Acropolis Summit via a section of Tasmania's iconic Overland Track in Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park. Not technically the hardest thing we've done — but arguably the most draining. And the alpine landscapes are simply unlike anything else in Australia. 🥾 In this episode: — 3 days, 2 nights on the Pine Valley Trail — Summiting the Acropolis — rocky scrambles and jaw-dropping alpine views — Night hiking we did not plan for — Cowboy camping without a tent — our first time — Walking a section of the iconic Overland Track — The Labyrinth Plateau — otherworldly alpine scenery — Pine Valley Hut — rainforest camping deep in the Du Cane Range — Our honest verdict: is Pine Valley worth it? 💡 Tips: carry more food than you think you need, start the Acropolis early to allow time for the scramble section, you can camp at Pine Valley Hut, but Overland Hikers get priority, so bring a tent even if you're planning to hut camp — conditions change fast in the southwest.
