Lookouts and scenic vantage points
Bluff Mountain lookout
You can get other panoramic views by climbing the highest peaks, Bluff Mountain and Mt Exmouth. From these heights you can see almost the entire park. Beyond that, you can also see the edge of the Great Dividing Range to the east and endless plains to the west. This gives a great sense of how the Warrumbungles sit between these two very different environments.
