The peak of Bluff Knoll is the highest point on the range, 1,095 metres above sea level. The peak is reached by a well-formed bush track which requires a reasonable degree of fitness.  It takes about four hours (weather and fitness level permitting) to complete the six-kilometre return climb. Best time to visit is late spring and early summer (October to December). Winter, between June and August, is cold and wet. Even in spring the weather can be unpredictable, particularly higher in the range. Sudden cold changes cause the temperature to drop and rain or hail to set in. All visitors are strongly advised not to enter the bush or use footpaths on days of extreme fire danger. The range is one of few places in Western Australia where snow occasionally falls. Snow falls on the highest peaks several times each year.
