Mount Le Grand

Directions - Cape Le Grand National Park is located about an hours drive east of Esperance. Take Fisheries Rd north out of town and take the turnoff onto Merrivale Rd (look for the Lucky Bay signs). Follow this road until you reach Cape Le Grand Rd and continue into the park. Mount Le Grand is an off-track hike that comes off the well signed Le Grand Coastal Trail that starts at the Le Grand Beach car park.

​

The Hike - Mount Le Grand is a place that I had been wanting to visit after seeing a post from awildland describing their adventure in 2018 on this unmarked detour from the Le Grand Coastal Trail. My only previous visit to Cape Le Grand was earlier in 2018 and given there was nothing in the park brochure about Mount Le Grand apart from a small dot on the map, I didn't consider it to be an option for hiking (plus we only had one day/night in Cape Le Grand). It wasn't until after my trip that I saw a couple of social media posts about it and then the aforementioned awildland adventure that I put it on my list of hikes to do.
