Mount Hassel

3 kilometres return – difficulty medium – 1.5 to 2 hours return. Approximate elevation: 827m. A relatively short hike with a return time of about 21/2 hours. The trail is clear but one may stray on dead-end tracks, so be observant.   A popular hike affording wonderful views of Toolbrunup Peak.

A popular walk leads to the summit of Mount Hassell and offers excellent views, particularly of Mount Toolbrunup just a couple of kilometres to the west.

As with other walks in the Stirling Range, Mount Hassell features a profusion of colour during the wildflower season. The walk is a moderately difficult trail that starts gently from the car park. It steepens as it approaches a ridge and then leads through thick bush across a saddle. The final scramble up the small rocky castle that forms the summit is easier than it looks from below though extra care should be taken when the rocks are wet and slippery.
