Ride the GPT Express from Redman Road Trailhead — Pickup 8:40 AM.
The GPT Express shuttle is a scheduled service that carries hikers along the trail corridor between Dunkeld and Mount Zero, designed to move people south-to-north so they can walk north-to-south at their own pace. For many hikers the service removes the need to plan handoffs or rush to finish: leave your vehicle at the end of your intended route and use the shuttle to reach the start, then walk back to your car on your timeline.

Outing Highlights
Scheduled shuttle along the full GPT corridor
The GPT Express is a scheduled hiking shuttle that runs the full length of the trail between Dunkeld and Mount Zero, providing a straightforward way to position yourself at a trailhead without ferrying cars between endpoints.
Leave your car at the end and hike without time pressure
For most hikes the recommended approach is to leave your car where you plan to finish and book the shuttle to take you to the start—this eliminates finish-line time pressure and lets you walk days on your own schedule.
Flexible tickets for Southern, Northern, and End‑to‑End trips
The service supports a range of itineraries: book the Southern Zone ticket for Southern Stage hikes (for example starting at Jimmy Creek and finishing in Dunkeld), the Northern Zone to link into Halls Gap, or an End‑2‑End ticket to move between Dunkeld and Halls Gap.
What the day feels like
What the experience feels like
You begin with a short, scheduled shuttle ride to your chosen start; from there the trail is yours to set the pace. Because the shuttle is designed to move hikers along the corridor, many people opt to leave supplies or a vehicle at their intended finish—what starts as a logistical convenience becomes a quieter, less hurried way to experience the route.
