Starting from the Mount Hassell car park off Stirling Range Drive, Stirling Range National Park, this walk takes you to the summit of Mount Hassell and back. Prepare for an amazing range of colours in the wildflower season. The track to the summit has steps that begin moderate, leaving their place for steep scree sections later on. Many rocky platforms are located on or near the trail, where walkers can take a break and enjoy the views. As you come closer to a ridge, the track gets steeper. You'll then cross a saddle through some thick bush. The final scramble up the small section of rock that forms the summit is easier than it looks from below, though extra care should be taken when the rocks are wet and slippery. After negotiating the rock face, walkers are rewarded with a close-up view of Toolbrunup and sweeping views of the remainder of the national park. The trail is well marked and easy to navigate, with some steep climbs and moderately difficult scrambling. Wear sturdy footwear and weatherproof clothing, and carry plenty of drinking water. There may be sudden temperature changes that can lead to rain or even hail, so come prepared. The upper parts of this track should not be walked under bad weather conditions. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Starting from the car park at the end of Mount Trio Access Road off Formby Road South, Stirling Range National Park, this walk takes you to the summit of Mount Trio and back via the Mount Trio Walk Trail. This is a short and steep 3km return hike in the Stirling Ranges, with a total ascent of 350 metres and lots of steps along the way. Mount Trio might not be the biggest, the most difficult or the longest climb in the Stirling Range, but it is still a tough little hike. There is an informational signpost at the starting point, followed by a boardwalk. After the minimal warm-up, it's straight into the serious gradients until you reach the broad saddle between the north and east peaks. From the saddle, it's an easy stroll to the north peak where you get 360-degree views of the Stirling Range, including a great look at Mount Hassell and Toolbrunup to the south-west, Bluff Knoll to the east, the farmland to the north and the rest of the Stirling Ranges to the west. There is a picnic site at the start/finish of the trail that has plenty of shade provided by the trees. Walking is not recommended in wet or windy conditions or in extreme heat.

Starting from the car park at the end of Toolbrunup Road, Stirling Range National Park, this walk leads to the summit of Mount Toolbrunup and back via the Toolbrunup Peak Walk Trail. Toolbrunup Peak may not be the tallest peak in the Sterling Range (by only 50 metres), but it's quite the sight and demands mental & physical effort from you. Rising from the landscape at 1052m above sea level, Mount Toolbrunup presents a tough challenge for those that decide to hike up to the summit. This 4km return hike begins by taking you through quaint woodlands, mostly following the bank of a creek and becoming progressively steeper. Beyond the woodlands, the hike rises steeply over large boulders, loose rocks and steep scree to a saddle near the top of the southwest buttress. Look out for the yellow-capped markers placed among the rocks to ensure you are following the correct route. The terrain in the last part is relatively more complex, introducing some vertical rock climbs. When you reach the upper slopes, keep a lookout for mountain bells and other flowers that bloom in the spring. At the summit, you will be rewarded with extraordinary 360-degree views across the landscape, where you'll be able to see all the other major peaks in the area, along with the Porongurups to the south. This is one of the most challenging day walks in the Stirling Range as it requires constant climbing. When you reach the summit, you'll be more than 500 metres above the starting point. Although it's quite short, this hike is best suited for fit and experienced walkers, as there are some very steep sections and uneven surfaces, including scree fields and loose rocks. Keep in mind that the weather can change super quick in the Sterling Range. Take extra care when dealing with the strong winds near and at the summit, as you'll be exposed to them. Hiking boots or sturdy shoes, weatherproof clothing and sun protection are recommended. At the car park, you will find a small picnic area and information boards about the hike.

Starting from the Bluff Knoll Car park at the end of Bluff Knoll Road, Stirling Range National Park, this walk takes you to the summit of Bluff Knoll and back. The Bluff Knoll hike starts at a large interpretive shelter near the car park, and the path from there is easy to follow. The trail is steep in places but well marked and maintained throughout, with steps in place for much of the early steep inclines. Once you reach the rocky plateau that forms the peak of Bluff Knoll, you'll be rewarded with spectacular views over the surrounding Stirling Ranges and even as far south as Porongurup National Park. Bluff Knoll is continually surrounded by a dense layer of mist that swirls around the summit as the wind pushes it between the gullies and the rocks. Make sure to bring warm clothing, as it can get very cold at the summit. Mountain mists, wind chill, and rain can occur on the mountains at any time, and there are even snowfalls most winters on the peaks. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
