Getting there

When coming from Chester Pass Rd, turn onto Stirling Range Drive and look out for a small carpark with signs for Mt Hassell on your left.

Route/Trail notes

From the carpark you very quickly start covering vertical distance along a steep well marked trail that zigzags up the mountain. Be prepared to make it to a few false summits along the way before you actually make it to the top. You will know you are close when you get to the final scrambling section. Take care on this part, though not insanely difficult there are loose rocks and slippery surfaces. The view from the summit has an excellent vantage point of Mt Toolbrunup which towers above it. There are also great views of the rest of the Stirling Ranges as well. 

Permits/Costs

$15 per car per day

Comments

I really enjoyed this walk! It is very steep but has views pretty much the whole way up. The scrambling section wasn't overly difficult and the track was very easy to follow. The Stirling Ranges are a bit like the Glasshouse Mountains of the West. A small range with high peaks surrounded by flat country which means excellent views.
