The route to the Mount Maroon caves leaves from the main Mount Maroon trailhead before branching off onto a rough footpad through dense bushland. Unlike the standard summit track, this route is unofficial and includes off-track navigation, bush bashing, scrambling, and steep rocky terrain. Trails fade in and out in sections, so navigation skills are important. The caves sit beneath large cliff faces on the mountain’s western side, with rocky ridgelines and exposed terrain surrounding the area. Only attempt if you're an experienced bushwalker, as this route is considered more technical and adventurous than the main Mount Maroon ascent.
