Climb Frenchmans Peak, Cape Le Grand National Park

Pulling up in the bus at the bottom of Frenchman’s Peak, we were advised to stick to the path and that the hike might be a little tough.  As we were scrambling on all fours at points during the climb, I would have to agree with ‘tough’ but huffing and puffing at the top was well worth it when you turned around and took in the beauty of the coast line.  What made it even more magnificent was that our tour guide timed the walk so we would reach the top just as the sun was beginning to set.  On this particular evening there was a bit of low cloud cover but this made for some awesome pictures as the islands in the bay of Esperance poked through the clouds.  My tour group and I then enjoyed the plethora of colour in the sky before some random self timer group photos and a careful climb back to the bottom.  Dinner was a well earned meal on this night.  An experience I will never forget!
