Mount Jukes

Mount Jukes is a mountain summit in Tasmania with an elevation of 630 meters, marked by rocky terrain and exposed ridgeline formations. The peak sits along a ridge system that connects to the higher Proprietary Peak and offers unobstructed views across the surrounding landscape.

The summit was documented as a geographical reference point within Tasmania's mountainous terrain during regional surveying efforts. Its location along the ridge system contributed to mapping the broader landscape features of the area.

The Mount Jukes area attracts experienced hikers who seek challenging ascents through natural formations rather than following established trails through dense vegetation.

Access is via Mount Jukes Road with parking available at the high point between East Jukes Peak and Proprietary Peak. The walk to the summit is roughly 4 kilometers return and requires navigation skills due to the open, untrailed terrain and exposed ridge sections.

Reaching the summit involves traversing south across an exposed ridge from the higher Proprietary Peak, which sets this ascent apart from typical mountain hikes. This ridge-walking approach across open terrain creates a more direct but more exposed route that experienced walkers find distinctive.
