Mount Dale, Summit in Western Australia, Australia
Mount Dale is a summit in Western Australia that rises to 546 meters and features forested slopes crossed by walking trails. Multiple routes of varying difficulty wind through the landscape, allowing visitors to explore the woodland environment at different paces.
The summit takes its name from Robert Dale, an early European explorer who investigated the Darling Scarp region in the 1820s. This naming reflects the area's role in the early European exploration of Western Australia.
The mountain functions as part of the Bibbulmun Track network, connecting multiple sections through the forest landscapes of Western Australia.
A maintained track leads to the summit area, where parking and picnic facilities are available for visitors. Most routes can be walked without specialist gear, though some sections are steep and require confidence on uneven ground.
Where a fire lookout tower once stood, a communications structure now occupies the summit, with the original tower foundations still visible on the ground. These remains show how the location has shifted its purpose over time, from fire observation to modern infrastructure.
