This is both a bushland and rainforest walk (no track) with plenty of elevation gain. Saddle Mtn is 882 mr high, so it is a big climb and no track.
The terrain is uneven under foot, and the walk is rated 'very hard'. A very good fitness is required.
There is no water source along the way, and so you will need to bring at least 4L.
Appropriate footwear and clothing are required.
Bring your own minimal first aid kit.
Also, bring a headtorch.
