A short jaunt to break up a drive. Park at the viewpoint carpark and head up the closest ridge. Follow the ridge along until you get to the peaks. Once there, take heaps of photos and then head back down the steep descent back to your car.
This trail includes the peak Double Peak.
A great view over the Lindis Pass area.

This is a great viewpoint! Nice breakup if driving through and you need a stretch. If you are into geocaching, theres a cache called Desolation here. Aptly named. Short, but sweet
