Finally hiked along the Rifle Range Link trail and I’m surprised it’s relatively deserted. It’s actually part of the MacRitchie Trail which starts from erm, MacRitchie Reservoir. Duh. But the terrain is much rockier and uneven compared to the normal trails. And that means more fun! 🤣
I think the main reason why it’s not as popular as the main trails is because the trail ends at the tip of Rifle Range Road. Then one has to walk along the road all the way down to connect to either the Pipeline Trail (1.6km away) or the Rail Corridor at Bt Timah (3.2km away). So the combined distance is quite long.
As for us, we cheated a little. We drove all the way up to the end of Rifle Range Road, parked and entered the trail from there (see last photo). We then hiked to Jelutong Tower and climbed the 6-storey tower for an awesome view of the nature reserve. Distance per way is an easy 1.6km hike. Of course, we took a far longer time because #photos. 😅 Maybe we’ll walk all the way to MacRitchie the next time. 😁
