Pinnacles Drive

Pinnacles Drive offers 4WD enthusiasts a unique opportunity to explore one of Western Australia's most visually striking geological formations. This short but scenic route takes you through the iconic Pinnacles Desert, where you'll navigate among thousands of towering limestone pillars that create an otherworldly landscape unlike anything else in the region. The contrasting golden sand and stark white stone formations make this an unforgettable driving experience, especially during golden hour when the light transforms the pillars into a photographer's paradise.

The terrain is relatively forgiving with no steep grades, making this accessible to a wider range of vehicles and skill levels. You'll traverse well-established sandy tracks that wind through the desert landscape, allowing you to soak in the dramatic scenery at a leisurely pace. Despite its short 1.3 km length, don't underestimate the time you'll want to spend here—many drivers find themselves stopping frequently to explore, photograph, and simply marvel at the natural wonder surrounding them.

Before heading out, ensure your vehicle is equipped for sandy conditions and carry plenty of water. The Pinnacles area is relatively exposed with minimal shade, so prepare accordingly for Western Australia's variable weather. With only five recorded vehicle attempts on Newtracs, this remains an uncrowded gem where you can truly experience the raw beauty of Nambung's ancient landscape in relative solitude.
