An excellent map has also been produced by the Friends of the Heysen Trail, Scout Outdoor Centre, and Earth Adventure. This makes it easier for hikers to find their way around safely. The Sea to Summit Trail is an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Adelaide Hills region, challenge yourself with the height gain, and experience the native vegetation. As a result, it is a great opportunity to get out in nature, develop new skills, and learn how to prepare for your next hike while remaining safe on the trail.

The best time to visit the Sea to Summit Trail is during the cooler months of the year, from March to November, and when the weather is mild and pleasant. It is best to plan your hike during this time to ensure the best possible conditions for your adventure.
