Adventure Riding in Scenic Tasmania, Australia! ᐅ Jacobs Ladder Road

About the road
Surrounded by towering dolerite cliffs, Jacob’s Ladder is steep hair-pined gravel ascend leading to the Ben Lomond Plateau. It is located in Ben Lomond National Park about 50km from Launceston, approximately 1500m above sea level.
The zig-zag climb will make your heart beat faster and reward you with amazing mountain views on the top. The road itself is hard gravel with some deep gravel patches on the sides and in the corners. There are also safety barriers in the most critical sections. Some extra space in each turn allows you to stop and make a passage for the descending vehicles.
The weather at Jacob’s Ladder is unpredictable and can change quickly. It is of course recommended to climb it on a sunny day for the best visibility. Even with clear skies, it can be very cold and windy, so if you’re on a motorbike, be sure to wear warm gear (heated handgrips help as well!).
Unfortunately for us, wind and cloud started to pick up as we were at the end of the road...
If you’re up for a little adventure, want to take photos of your motorcycle among imposing scenery or maybe just have a mission of ticking off as many roads from dangerousroads.org as you can, make sure to put Jacob’s Ladder on your list.
