---------------------------------------
 |
| Starting at the IFC mall, exit to the escalator |
 |
| Then, pretty easy, just go all the way up the escalator... |
 |
| All the way! Until there's no escalator anymore... |
 |
| You'll arrive on Conduit road. Head right on Conduit Road |
 |
| You'll do maybe 1k on Conduit Road |
 |
| Until you reach Hatton Rd on your left. Take Hatton Road up |
 |
| Pretty easy at this point, just follow the Morning Trail signage |
 |
| All the way up to the flat portion where there's a pavilion where Hatton, Harlech and Luggard roads meet. |
 |
Go through the park past the pavilion and in the opposite corner, you'll see the path to High West.
There's no way out. So, you will go all the way up to High West peak. Nice 360 degrees views on a clear day!
Then back down to the pavilion here. |
 |
| Back at the pavilion, take Luggard Road for about 10m, you'll see steps on your right. Take them, they go up to Victoria Peak Garden. That's about a 15 minutes walk up |
 |
| Just stay on the left |
 |
| This pavilion overlooks the garden below |
 |
| Once you are done admiring the garden, go through it in the diagonally opposite direction and down the path |
 |
| Then first left... |
 |
| Quite beautiful... Erik Satie's music as background music would go quite well here... |
 |
| On your first left in this park, take the stairs |
 |
| Going by the old gates. The "commercial" Peak is not far away |
 |
| There ya go... |
 |
Go down on the left of the Peak tower, by the washrooms. From that point on, quite simple, just keep going down.
Can't get lost. You're "back" to the city... |
