Trail reviews for Stirling Range National Park
Mount Trio is a scenic but moderately challenging hike in Western Australia’s Stirling Range National Park. It features rocky terrain, native wildflowers, and panoramic summit views. • Distance: 3.5 km return • Time: Around 1.5 hours • Elevation gain: Approximately 400 metres • Highest point: 856 metres above sea level • Difficulty: Grade 4 – steep and uneven in sections The trail begins with a steep climb through boulder-lined paths and wildflower patches. After reaching a saddle between the peaks, the gradient eases slightly before the final push to the summit. From the top, you get sweeping 360-degree views across the mountain range, including Bluff Knoll and Toolbrunup.
BEST VIEW IN THE STIRLING RANGE!!!! Talyuberlup is incredible, the hike up had me contemplating my life's choices. Oh my gosh, the view was everything though, so much better than bluff as your in the center of the range not on the outskirts. The trail was harder, i went in winter, so was a tad slippery as it had been raining the day before. I always hike with one knee in a brace and on the way down had to strap my other just as it was a steep decline and my footing was un easy. Climbing through the cave underpass at the summit was so cool and then there's more than one viewing section. For those ok with heights you can climb to a smaller viewing section just to the north (very daunting in the wind, but WOW, so worth it!) The other viewing section you keep hugging the peak up, this section has so much more space and a view of most of the range on a good day. As for plants and insects on the way up if im honest I was more preoccupied with not passing out from a health condition and legs burning lol, so I didnt notice much in that aspect but I've been told it is abundant so I will reclimb in spring to check all that out. The car park is so nicely situated just at the base of the trail so easy access to begin and end the climb. There's also a picnic area there, nothing fancy but still, youre in such an incredible location. For those who dont want to climb i did suggest to a beautiful mum and daughter that there is a viewing point 5 minutes drive up the road that doesn't require strenuous activity to get to and they could easily get their spend time see a cool view and get back before the rest of their party returned. I also hike with a fainting condition, so I do pace myself on incline hikes for safety and to regulate my hear rate more effectivly. Up and back id say took me 3 hours max im sure anyone not taking as many stops could do the trail in just over 2 hours. Definitely not for the weak but so so worth it
Almost 360 degree views of the whole Stirling ranges :) very windy today. No toilets. Take your toilet paper with you, people

I left my review until I had completed all the Stirling range trails so that I could offer some sort of comparison. This was my favourite from the point of view of the 360 degree views. It was also the hardest hike as it involved scrambling over big rocky sections. Don’t be fooled by the length, it is a hard hike. It is worth it though. I took my poles for the first section and strapped them to my pack for the scramble and the final climb at the top. I would not recommend doing it if it is raining as the granite rocks would become very slippery. I took a picnic and savoured the view.
