The spectacular Frenchman's Cap rises 1,443 metres out of the Gordon-Franklin Wild Rivers National Park. The eastern side of the peak is home to Tasmania's oldest rock, an impressive 300m overhanging rock wall face of Precambrian quartzite. Our trek to Frenchman's Cap is a 46 km return journey over varying terrain including open button grass plains and dense rainforests with steep ascents. Amidst this truly wild area you will discover an abundance of wildlife including many endemic bird species. By allowing five days and camping under the summit, we have a greater chance of visiting the peak in fine weather, with views throughout the Tasmanian wilderness including Mt. Ossa, the Arthur Range and Macquarie Harbour.
