Highlights
Walking trail: 4km return | grade 5 | 1/2 day
Enjoy magnificent views from the summit of Mt Toolbrunup, the second highest peak in the Stirling Range. A good degree of fitness is required for this 4km return hike.
Toolbrunup Peak towers above the other western peaks, offering uninterrupted views in all directions. To get there you'll need to be fit and agile and prepared to scramble up some steep rocky sections of the trail.
Starting at the parking area and travelling through woodland, the trail mostly follows a creek and gets progressively steeper. Beyond the woodland, the trail rises over large boulders, loose rocks and steep scree leading to a saddle near the top of the south-west buttress. From here it’s a short, steep scramble to the top.
During spring, those who reach the upper slopes will be rewarded with beautiful mountain bells and southern cross flowers.
