Exploring Grampians National Park

The Grampians national park's most captivating features are the towering sandstone mountains, ancient rock art sites and cascading waterfalls. Adventurers can go on hikes that unveil the park's beauty, with highlights including the iconic Pinnacle and the Grand Canyon. The Grampians boasts an extensive network of hiking trails catering to various skill levels. From leisurely strolls suitable for families to challenging hikes for seasoned adventurers, there's a path for everyone. The trails lead to panoramic lookouts, lakes and hidden valleys. It turned out to be one of my favorite regions I’ve visited so far in Australia.

Hiking the Pinnacle Walk

The perfect hike to do when visiting the Grampians is the Pinnacle Walk. This trail takes you through rugged landscapes and unveils panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. Reach the Pinnacle, a rocky outcrop, for a breathtaking viewpoint that rewards your efforts with sweeping vistas of the Grampians' iconic peaks.

Sunset at Reeds Lookout

At the end of the day, head to Reeds Lookout for a spectacular sunset. Perched on the edge of the Victoria Range, you’ll have unobstructed views of the sun setting over the Grampians. When you walk up the hill, you’ll find a helipad which we thought was very cool to include in our photos and videos. Are you more of a sunrise person? Then the Boroka Peak should be the place to go. It should be a short hike, which is perfect for early risers!
