Itinerary description

This pleasant, short on-track walk within the Monadnocks Conservation Park replaces an earlier, much more challenging WalkGPS route which remains an option. This circuit provides walkers with an easily accessible way to experience the best of Mount Cooke which is the highest of the granite monadnocks of the Darling Range. The walk includes about 3.5km on the Bibbulmun Track along the main ridge before descending to the Mt Cooke Campsite. There are some excellent views from the ridge. The 230m climb up Mt Cooke should not be too challenging for any reasonably fit walker.
