Hike summary
Without a doubt, the journey along the Pinnacle walk to Pinnacle lookout is one of the highlights of the whole park and not to be missed.
It's a short walk through World Heritage-listed rainforest before the track reaches Pinnacle lookout. You're bound to be mesmerised by uninterrupted views of the whole park along with spectacular 360° views all the way to the coastline, the crater escarpment and to Wollumbin (formerly known as Mount Warning).
If you're an early riser, and even if you aren't, it's definitely worth making the effort to see the silhouette of Wollumbin when the sun rises - it's a completely inspiring way to start your day in Border Ranges National Park.
