Breadknife and Grand High Tops Walk

Natural Attractions

This iconic Warrumbungle National Park walk is famous for its wildlife and vistas of rugged volcanic landscape. Breadknife and Grand High Tops walk is the jewel in the glistening crown and is a must-do for bush walkers who love a challenge with their scenery. The track follows Spirey Creek before climbing steeply to give close encounters with iconic formations such as Belougery Spire, Bress Peak and Crater Bluff.

Passing Balor Hut campground on your way up, stop for a picnic and take in one of the best panoramas in NSW. After the breathtaking Grand High Tops summit, continue on towards Western High Tops and the Ogma Gap campground. You’ll pass Dows Camp on the way for a look at the impressive Bluff Mountain. To complete the 14.5 kilometre loop, follow the West Spirey track back to Pincham carpark.

Alternatively, you can take a shorter 12.5 kilometre return to Pincham carpark via Dagda Shortcut.

In spring, walkers will be treated to a wildflower display of purple hoveas, white daisy bushes, yellow wattles and orange pea flowers.
