About this place
Like other places in Stirling Range, Mount Hassell offers a beautiful display of colour during the wildflower season. The trail to Mount Hassell is moderately difficult, starting gently from the parking area and then becoming steeper as it approaches a ridge before heading through thick bush. Extra care should be taken when the rocks are wet and slippery.
Safety information
Plan when to visit. Consider travelling with a personal location beacon (PLB). In the event you need to be rescued it could save your life!
The peaks of the Stirling Range are subject to rapid, unpredictable changes in the weather. Hikers should be prepared for sudden cool changes that cause the temperature to drop and rain or hail to set in.
All visitors are strongly advised not to enter the bush or use footpaths on days of extreme fire danger. If you are planning to hike off marked trails, abseil or rock climb, please register your details at the shelter in the picnic area across the road from Bluff Knoll Road entry station. If you plan to hike on an established walk, no registration is required.
