The walk to the top of the mountain takes about 40-45 mins, and you are presented with stunning views to the west, south and east. To the south lies Mt Duncan, and to the east, Ulverstone and Devonport, with views to the ocean. I highly recommend this walk if you’re in the area and looking for a short walk with views.
