Frenchman Peak, situated within the breathtaking expanse of Cape Le Grand National Park, isn't just a geological marvel, it's an exhilarating adventure waiting to be explored. As you embark on the hike, be sure to wear sturdy shoes with good grip, as the path ascends straight up a steep rock face, adding an element of physical challenge to the trek. Spanning 2.4 kilometers round trip, the trail will reward hikers with sweeping vistas of the national park and its rugged coastline, a sight that never fails to captivate nature enthusiasts.
Upon reaching the summit, you'll encounter large caves that were sculpted millions of years ago when sea levels were considerably higher, a testament to the powerful forces of nature over millennia. Known locally as Mandooboornup, Frenchman Peak holds profound cultural significance in Aboriginal heritage, adding a deeper layer of appreciation to the journey.
This hike is super fun and allows you to get some exercise between all of the relaxing beach days spent chilling by the ocean. If you have the chance be sure to check out Frenchmans Peak.
