Mount Hassell

Directions - Mount Hassell is the first day hike you'll reach along the gravel track of Stirling Range Drive if you head west from Chester Pass Rd. At the top of the first big rise look for the left turn into the car park and the trail starts from the information board.

​

The Hike - After blowing the cobwebs out of the system hiking up Mount Trio, it was time to move onto the next summit for the day. Having seen Mount Hassell and Toolbrunup from the summit of Mount Trio, it was only a short drive up Stirling Ranges Drive to reach the car park. The fine weather continued and it looked like it would be cloud free for remainder of the day. I filled up the water bottles again (must remember to actually drink from them whilst hiking this time) and had a bit of a talk to some guys who had set up camp chairs next to their cars after completing the hike. I'm not sure if they were trying to psych me out or genuinely thought they had conquered a difficult summit but they seemed hell bent on warning me of the section that required scrambling over and over again.
