Mount Cooke is well known for its walk track, which is part of the Bibbulmun Track.[1] The Bibbulmun Track leads from a parking and picnic area, and goes thousands of metres through the jarrah forest, coloured with a host of wildflowers in all seasons, to the summit of Mount Cooke.
Mount Cooke is within the Monadnocks Conservation Park[2] and administered by the Department of Environment and Conservation.
