Mount Lofty is the highest point in the Mount Lofty Ranges and offers sweeping panoramic views across the city of Adelaide and the coastline of Gulf St Vincent. The summit features a well-known lookout, visitor facilities, and access to walking trails that pass through native bushland in the surrounding hills. Its elevated vantage point makes it one of the most popular viewpoints in the Adelaide Hills and a highlight of many nearby hiking routes.

Hiking
If you can, go there by bike via Old Mt. Barker Road (hardly any traffic). The hiking trail from Waterfall Gully is crowded, particularly on weekends.
