Hiking Warrimoo to Glenbrook via St Helena
A one-way day across the ridgeWarrimoo to Glenbrook via St Helena is a 16.8 km (10.
Warrimoo to Glenbrook via St Helena is a 16.8 km (10.4 mi) point-to-point walk from the Warrimoo-side track start to the Glenbrook end. The mapped line climbs about 650 m and descends around 760 m; allow roughly 6–7 hours with breaks. This is a hard day with no easy turn-around once you are deep on the route, so arrange your finish transport before setting off.

The main line strings together Florabella Pass, The Bullants Track, Bunyan Lookout Trail and the St Helena Ridge paths before reaching the Glenbrook side. It moves between rocky bush tracks and rough sandstone steps, with a boulder-lined crossing at Glenbrook Creek. The Bullants and Bunyan lookouts open over forested sandstone gorges; Duck Hole brings you down to a sandy creek edge. Three map-listed sidetracks to Lost World, Bunyan Lookout and Duck Hole add about 3.7 km together, so check which branches you want before counting the distance. At Bunyan, keep some of the ledge in a photo to show the scale of the gorge.
Plan the ends before you goThis is not a loop.
This is not a loop. The mapped start is near Warrimoo, but it is not the railway station entrance, and the exact station links at either end have not been confirmed. A public route description says public transport is possible and recommends a pickup or car shuffle at the far end; verify the connections you plan to use. I did not find a complete NPWS route map or route-specific confirmation for every connecting track, so check current walking access before committing. The park does not allow pets other than certified assistance animals. No route-specific drinking-water or toilet points were confirmed.
