The BVRT starts at Wanora near Ipswich just off the Brisbane Valley Highway and then continues to Fernvale, before looping westwards to Lowood and then continuing north to Coominya, Esk and Toogoolawah. The section from Toogoolawah has not been developed at the present time, but there is an alternate scenic route by minor country roads. From Moore the trail continues northwards to Linville before turning west to Benarkin, Blackbutt and finally Yarraman.
