Visiting Yellow Mountain Sept - are runners ok for climbing the stairs of rock face, extreme hike?

Answers (1)

Answered by Pola from AUSTRALIA | Sep. 07, 2015 21:35

Yes, it's ok for runners to climb the mountain. In addition, September is a good period to tour around this scenic area. Don't worry. Most of the climb is not cliffy.
But if you go to the West Sea Grand Canyon, it will be kind of extreme hike.

According to the weather records of this year, it rains much in Sep., but little in Oct. It is usually cool and windy in Oct, the average temp is about 75 Fahrenheit degree, quite good for travel. Anyway, you’d better pay close attention to the weather forecast before you set off.
