Do I need hiking shoes for the main Grampians viewpoints?

Carry water and layers, and turn back if a route feels unsafe in your shoes. Do not treat every viewpoint as the same level of walk.

Check the park's current track alerts for the Balconies, MacKenzie Falls and the Pinnacle before travel. Closures and surface conditions can change after weather events.

Match footwear to the exact trail and conditions. Short formed paths may suit sturdy grippy trainers, while wet rock, uneven steps and longer hikes call for more support.
