Itinerary description
Bluff Knoll is the highest peak of the Stirling Range National Park and 3rd highest of Western Australia (WA). It is 1,099 meters above sea level, and is one of only a few places to experience regular snowfalls in Western Australia (WA).
The round trip to the summit takes takes around 3 hours (this tracklog is a one way accent only), impose a no technical challenge and can be achieved by anyone with a minimum fitness level.
The trail starts at a large trailhead interpretive shelter (with toilets and rain water) and is very easy to follow. The weather can often surprise: mountain mists, wind chill and rain can occur on the mountains at any time and there are even snow falls most winters on the peaks.

Probably the best summit view in WA. Very steep climb with endless steps but not technically difficult.
Pack plenty of water (1L/person is probably enough even on hot days) and a snack to have at the summit and , please, bring back your rubbish.
