Grand High Tops lookout
Warrumbungle National Park
Overview
Grand High Tops lookout is in Warrumbungle National Park along Breadknife and Grand High Tops walk. This lofty summit is a great place to soak up breathtaking views of this ancient volcanic landscape.
Reach the summit lookout with a short but steep climb up Lugh’s Throne on the Grand High Tops section of the Breadknife and Grand High Tops walk.
Your efforts will be well rewarded. Perched a lofty 960m above sea level, you’ll be surrounded by dykes, plugs and lava domes—the impressive remains of the once-huge Warrumbungle volcano.
It’s the perfect spot for a well-deserved lunch break. Enjoy views of the Breadknife, the Needle and Belougery and Tonduron Spires. You’ll also see Crater Bluff, Balor Peak and Bluff Mountain.
