Things to do
Stroll through cool forested gullies along the historic Pipeline Track, or traverse Wellington Range in the saddle (on horse or mountain bike). Four wheel drive along rough mountain trails, climb leaning dolerite towers or sit quietly among the birds.
While essentially a secluded natural environment, there are plenty of activities for visitors to the Park to enjoy. For the less active there are grand vistas and pleasant places to enjoy a cut lunch or picnic.
After a cold southerly, visitors might enjoy the delights of snowplay on the Mountain. Snowfalls can occur in the Park in any season but changeable weather and the proximity to the sea make persistent snow cover a rarity. Pinnacle Road, however, may be temporarily closed at any time of year due to icy conditions or snow. Visitors should check the Pinnacle Road Information Line (6278 0200) or visit the HCC website for more information on road closures.
Also, check out the current weather forecast for the Mountain - it may help you decide what is the best activity for you, and how much gear you will need.
