Pinnacle Lookout reviews
58The hike was a lot of fun, with a lot of interesting landmarks along the way. The lookout itself was a bit of a disappointment for me. The view is marred by visible human development below. But that is a personal preference.
Maybe the most beautiful place in Victoria. If you can't make it to Kakadu then come here, it is like a mini Kakadu; you will not be disappointed. Plenty of wild life to be seen wherever you go. Don't be surprised to see emus, kangaroos crossing your paths as you travel around.
Great hike. Definitely go anti-clockwise. Slow uphill hike and then downhill all the way on the way down. Plan for morning if want to avoid the crowds. Bring some snacks and drinks and enjoy the nice views.
A great hike that could've been a little better signposted for all the work it must've taken to build the trail's stone steps.
Takes about an hour to climb up from sundial car park and all worth it for a spectacular view thats just magnificent. Kid friendly but must be supervised closely, decent shoes as can be slippery and tripping hazards. There are yellow triangle markers to help navigate
A bit of a hike to the lookout from Wonderland Carpark, about 2.5KM one way. You will pass Grand Canyon and Bridle Veil Falls on the way, and the view up at the lookout is truely amazing.
It was so tiring to get up the steep pinnacle, especially on a sunny day, but so worthwhile when you're rewarded with an amazing view from the top.
A 'must do' walk if you're in the area, good shoes recommended because the rocks get slippery and take plenty of water. We walked it a fair bit quicker than the guidebooks so you could probably fit a second walk in on the same day if you're pushed for time. Definitely go from the Wonderland car park to see the silent lane (probably not the name but I forgot)! Enjoy!
Challenging but very doable with a good pair of shoes. Some steep sections and climbing over rocks along the way.
Such an amazing hike and view to be seen!
Recommend early morning to view sunrise and beating the heat. Its a shame to see that some people feel the need to litter, take your rubbish with you!
Always loved grampians be it morning or night, first or 10th time. Pinnacle always impresses me and always a new place to vist
One of my fav hikes in Australia. Make sure you take plenty of water, some munchies and cap/hats (there is pretty much no place for shade up there)
Fantastic walk, love Silent Street, shame about The Grand Canyon though hopefully next time we will be able to go there again, lovely views
Wowwwww.it's amazing experience for 2.1 km walk specifically challenging with kids
Get directions from info centre and then plan
Take food and water with you bcz it's not easy walk if you not 100% fit take your time rest yourself and keep going.
Takes 1 hour to reach up their. You can go faster but it's depend
But it's worth to take a little risk
A pretty reasonable walk if you are in good health. I saw a 4 year old walk up with her dad patiently holding her hand. Sooo worth it at the top. This is an amazing view a d place to visit
The easiest way to reach is to use trail starting from Sundial car park. Trail distance from Sundial car park is 2.1 km, it may take 45 minutes to get summit. This trail might be suitable for kids. Other trails to get Pinnacle summit are much more challenging but with more nice views!
Pinnacle Lookout. Walked up from Wonderland car park. Lot's of steps, 1hr up, and 1hr back to the car park.
Great views of the Grampians.
Wear suitable shoes. Take water and snacks.
Great views and enjoyable hike. We parked at Sundial Carpark and it took us 1 hr 50 mins return with lots of stops for photos. Path has markings so it’s easy to follow
Couple options for routes to the top. With wonderland route be prepared for steps! For easier route I’d avoid this route. It was a challenge the kids enjoyed with the continuous rocks and different sights along the way.
