Crocker Range National Park in Brief
The Crocker Range is a forest covered mountain range which stretches in a south westerly direction from Mount Kinabalu towards the Sabah – Sarawak border. It separates the coastal plains from the interior regions. Frequently shrouded in rain clouds, the peak rise to between 1200 – 1800 meters above sea and coastal plains. Formerly a forest reserve, its 1399 square kilometers became a national park in 1984. It is the largest park in Sabah

The Crocker Range is bisected by the Padas Gorge, through which swirls the mighty Padas River. The Crocker Range provides a vital water catchment area for communities in the foothills and plains to both the west coast and interior.

Previously, there was no road from the interior to the coastal town but only with bridle paths crisscrossing the hinterlands. These bridle paths took the villagers down to the coastal town, bartering for salt, matches and kerosene. These paths have since been known as Salt Trail.

Items to Bring: Leech socks, long pants for during trekking, sleeping bag at comfort zone 15°C or 23°C, Therma-Rest or sleeping mat, Rain cover or water tight proof bags, Water tight proof bags, 2.5 liter drinking water bottle, swim wear, Insect repellent, walking stick, head lamps (including extra bulb and batteries), personal toiletries, slipper or sandals and energy food (chocolate, raisins, nuts, rehydration salt, glucose, etc)

Note: Temperature at night could go down to 13°C. You are recommended to bring your own sleeping bag, Therma-Rest or sleeping mat. However, mosquito net will be provided. Porters will be available to carry part of your belongings with your backpack or knapsack. All trekkers are required to fill in a confidential Medical Information Form and Indemnity Form which will be provided during pre-briefing session prior to commencement of tour.
