  the actual walk to the pinnacles is very hard, not easy like it says, I was on my hands and knees at some stages climbing over shaky rocks, I kept to the signed path, but without my husband to help me I would not have made it, should be listed as HARD walk.

  We had great expectation (created by photo’s in the tourist guides and on the internet) about this view point but at the end it was disappointing. From the car park there is a 1 km walk who is not that interesting and very crowded. At the end you then get a good view to the rock but is was not what we expected. I looked more to an ordinary rock formation. There are much better point of views and walk in the Grampians area.

  The views from the top are magnificent, but be prepared for a challenging climb if, like me, your fitness is average.

  okI'm 53 and not under fit.we started the walk from wonderland car park at 8.30 am to avoid the heat of the day.it is a really hard walk it is a lot of rock hopping and stairs but it does get step and the rocks just keep coming...the silent street is really cool but it gets really narrow in some parts...we made the climb and because we where early we had the view all to ourselves ..just beautiful .sadly though I'm not going to lie..I hate down a lot more than up so we walked back to sundial car park and then walked to wonderland car park via the road yes along way but we just couldn't handle the down on all those bloody rocks..pussies I guess but it was an adventure to tell the grandkids

  You will need a fair level of fitness to make the hour long climb to the Pinnacle but the views are your reward.We especially liked the climb through Silent Street.Well worth your efforts!

  Everyone that goes to The Grampians must try the climb at least once. Although I'm not very fit, I can still climb to the summit slowly , taking many rest stops. It was all worth it when I reached the top...

  We did the Pinnacle walk in 34 degree heat in the middle of summer with 51/2 litres of water for 2 adults and a child and still ran out of water half way down! It was a hot one! Fantastic rugged walk though, it's pretty consistently uphill to get to the peak which makes going back down a real treat cause there's not many uphill sections on the way back! We did the 4.2 km circuit from the Wonderland carpark which was lovely. There are rocks to scramble over and some steps and narrow-ish passes - a short steep climb at the end of 'Silent Street' but otherwise if you're in ok shape it's a reasonable walk which took us about 2 hours. The view at the top is excellent, looking out over Lake Bellfield and the little town of Halls gap, it was cool to stand at the top and pick out the house we were staying in. We also saw lots of sweet little lizards, mostly skinks but also some bearded dragons and a blue tongue as well which made it fun - we did have to be careful where we stepped at times because there were so many lizards soaking in the sun on the path and the babies were a bit slower to scatter out the way. We've done this walk a few times and it's always enjoyable, highly recommend it as a great way to explore the national park.

  We did this track with 2 kids and it was not easy. The view in the end is great but be prepared for the long climb.

  This is a very popular walk and the car park fills up quickly. So go early or go later to avoid the masses. It is a steep climb but well worth it. I'm 44 and did it quite comfortably and we had kids with us from 11yrs right down to 4 (to be honest we didn't think the 4yr old would make it but she was super keen to keep up with her older cousins and she and her dad jus took their time.) My folks aged 74 came up only 1/3 of the way as it is hard work for your knees especially coming down. Allow 3hours +. The super fit can probably do it in nearly 1/2 that time - and we did see some 20yr olds running. wow. Oh to be 20 again. Also there are no toilets, so ladies bring a packet of tissues and a bag for any rubbish. It is lovely to have a snack or lunch at the top and soak up the views. Always bring your own water.
