Itinerary description

Be prepared for a "long hard day" if you decide to follow this trail. Good speed and endurance is needed. There are a few sections that you can leave off to shorten if required.

Starting from Pincham carpark I recommend hiking anticlockwise towards Danu Camp, then across to Mt Exmouth with stops at The Cathedral, The Arch and Trachyte Formations.

Then backtrack along the Western High Tops to Point Wilderness, Bluff Mountain, Dagda Saddle onto the Eastern High Tops with close views of Breadknife.

Along the way enjoy the many other views like Bluff Pyramid, Crater Bluff, Belougery Spire and Bress Peak to name a few.

The return leg after Breadknife lookout is very Touristy with lots of paved sections and stairs.

A great day.
