Explore the breathtaking beauty of massive sandstone outcrops and eucalypt-covered slopes of the northern Grampians.
After leaving the picnic area, the track enters a densely vegetated gully and climbs through pleasant woodlands of banksias, eucalypts and native pines. From the base of an iron-stained sandstone cliff, climb between fallen boulders and along exposed ledges to a barren rocky outcrop.
A short uphill scramble completes the climb to the mountain's wind-eroded caverns. From the upper end of the caves a natural rock window leads onto a ledge perched high above the huge amphitheatre where you can take in a breathtaking view of the forbidding cliffs of nearby Mount Stapylton before returning by the same route.
