A 1234 m / 4049 ft high mountain, rising prominently by Karijini Drive. Turn off onto the unsealed track leading 3 km south to the parking lot (no facilities) at the west end of the ridge. An easy walk heads 500 m south to view the Marandoo mines. Honey Hakea trail then continues uphill for another 4 km to another viewpoint. You're now halfway to the summit: it's best not to continue in hot weather, as the complete return is a 9-hour slog. Mount Bruce is the state's second highest mountain; it's edged for the top spot by Mount Meharry, 62 km southeast and 15 m higher.
Mount Bruce is the second highest mountain in the state of Western Australia.

A walk takes you down into the "slot canyon", looking just about wide enough to drop a coin in, until it broadens out at the pool in "the amphitheatre". This trail is 1.5 km or 2 hours and involves some scrambling and clinging onto the rock face.
The chasm is best viewed in early morning or late afternoon light, and the view north is its intersection with Wittenoom Gorge. Hiking down into the gorge is a 2-km, 3-hour return trip.
Can be reached by Weano Rd past the eco-retreat. There's a picnic and BBQ area, shade and toilets. Oxer's Lookout at the very end of the road is at a stream junction, with views along Weano, Hancock, Red and Joffre gorges. Trails of varying rigour descend to Handrail Pool and Kermit's Pool.
Perhaps the most scenic corner of the park. Reach it off Hwy 136: the access road is not sealed in a rough condition. There are toilets by the lower car park. Rippled rock formations shimmer in the water; it's safe to swim in the pool.
Fortescue Falls and the nearby Fern Pool are the most popular bathing spots in the park. Rock terraces surround Fortescue Falls, allowing sunbathers space to soak up the sun, and Fern Pool is a great place to shelter during the warmest moments of the day.
