Mount Amos
A granite peak in Freycinet's Hazards Range; from the summit you can look down over the whole of Wineglass Bay, a more striking view than the lookout.
Mount Amos, at 454 metres, is the peak in the Hazards Range that hikers can climb. From the summit you see the full curve of Wineglass Bay and the bays on either side at a near-aerial angle, which many consider the best view in Tasmania. The track starts at the Wineglass Bay car park and is about 3.6 km return, taking about 3 hours, but it requires scrambling over long sections of smooth, sloping granite slabs, so it is quite challenging. Do not attempt it in rain or when the rock is wet, as it is very dangerous. Wear shoes with good grip and carry plenty of water. A Parks Pass is required.
