Can a car-free visitor walk from Mount Lofty Summit to the botanic gardens?

Carry water and a layer for changing hill weather, and choose a shorter visit if your group is not ready for a steep track.

Plan the return bus before starting the walk; limited services can make a one-way route awkward.

Check the official trail map for the route's grade and length. The summit and gardens are separate destinations, not a short level stroll.
