The Red Arrow Walk, one of four linked trails in Mount Whitfield Regional Park, provides a scenic introduction to Cairns’ lush rainforest and is a favorite among runners. Starting at the base of Mount Whitfield, behind the Cairns Botanical Gardens, this 1-mile (1.5-kilometer) circuit winds through eucalyptus forest and bamboo groves. Visitors can experience the vibrant greenery and the serene atmosphere of the tropical landscape, making it a perfect choice for those seeking a short, yet rewarding, outdoor adventure.
