About this place
Enjoy the easy, accessible walk to the Mount Frankland Wilderness Lookout, or take the more challenging hike to the summit of Mount Frankland and be rewarded with a view across the Walpole Wilderness.
The Caldyanup Trail circumnavigates the base of Mount Frankland allowing a closer look at the intricacies of the granite environment from Soho Lookout. The granite peak of Mount Frankland spanning 411m, dominates the skyline and vegetation ranges from karri, jarrah and tingle forest to vast expanses of treeless heathland.
Choose from several walks depending on how much time you have and your fitness level. Follow the summit path for expansive vistas over the wilderness, or walk around the base of the granite outcrop on the Caldyanup Trail.
The Wilderness Lookout provides thrills for visitors as well as opportunities for nature appreciation along with other national park attractions in the area. The others are the Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk in Walpole-Nornalup National Park, the Gap and Natural Bridge in Torndirrup National Park, and the Granite Skywalk in Porongurup National Park.
