Description of Peak Charles
Peak Charles is
orange granite and contains many smaller faces and gullies and the climb to the top is more suited to climbers rather than hikers. There are great walking trails around the base.
Peak Charles is 120km north of
Esperance or south of
Norseman. South of
Norseman there are two turn-offs one at 55km and the other 70km, turn right onto one of them. These roads rejoin as the Lake King road some 25km further on. Some 5km past this junction is the turn-off to Peak Charles. It is another 20km to the peak along a sandy but good two wheel drive road.
