Great sunset views at dusk.
Track is pretty steep. The view at the top isn't much better than on the way up. But worth a hike for sure.

Healthy steep walk for the last 2km to the top - good shoes needed. Brilliant views from the highest spot in Western Victoria!

Great lookout of the whole national Park. Decent steep climb on paved road, not suitable for everyone. Takes approx 30-40 mins to get up due to steepness but way back is lot quicker. Talking water is recommended. Do not start running on way down as very hard to stop due to slope on the way back. Walk is approx 2 KMs from carpark. Still one of the best lookouts in Grampians and a must do if you can.

View was really great up the paved road from the main car park. However there were a lot of potholes along the way and punctured one of our car tyres. Luckily a great couple helped us swap out to the spare.

Great views when coming down 30mins to car park. Going up? It will take 1hr. Hard and steep. Do not go up when hot.

Long walk just up a road, not a nice hike. Views aren't that spectacular there are better lookouts and hikes in the Grampians
