The moderately difficult Chichester Range Camel Trail is located in Millstream-Chichester National Park and follows part of the old camel trail. The trail is eight kilometres long and can be accessed from both ends or 16-kilometre return. Expect some steep slopes, natural obstacles and loose rocks.
The Chichester Ranges are remote and spectacular. A walk along this amazing heritage trail in the early morning showcases a beautiful landscape of colour changes and is an opportunity to discover some iconic Pilbara wildflowers, such as Sturt’s desert pea, mulla mulla’s and the holly-leafed grevillea.
Python Pool is a permanent water hole (perfect for a swim) surrounded by shear red rock walls. From the car park, follow the trail leading to the pool, then turn left and follow the steep trail up the escarpment. Look back for stunning views of the coastal plain.
If you decide to complete the one-way walk, start at Mount Herbert and have a vehicle meet you at Python Pool. If completing the return walk, begin at Python Pool.
