The summit of Mount
Exmouth is the 1206m peak of the Warrumbungle range. The 360 degree
views of mountain peaks and the vast western plains seen from here are truly outstanding. Trail head starts at Split
Rock carpark and the trail is clearly marked.
This is a grade 4 hike with a distance of 17km return. If you have a moderate level of fitness and some hiking experience, give Mt
Exmouth a go - you will NOT be disappointed. This particular summit is the more challenging of the summits in the National Park. The last time I was on
the summit of
Exmouth, it was late March 2021 and we were greeted with sunny skies and a very gentle breeze. Mt
Exmouth is a gorgeous place to have lunch or watch the sunrise. There are
places on Mt
Exmouth where you can sit near the
cliff edge and take in the amazing
views of the entire national park, and what is even more special is this Summit gets hardly any foot traffic. During a weekend when the rest of the park had a few walkers, we saw NO ONE on this Summit.The walk to
the Summit is steep in
places. You will see plenty of ferns, cutting grass, and
views of Mt
Bluff on your way up. Highly recommend getting on top of Mt
Exmouth during your Warrumbungle adventures.
