The Hazards mountain range is made from granite, orthoclase, a pink feldspar, which they say is what gives the mountains a pinkish tinge of colour.
The 'Hazards' sit between between Coles Bay and Wineglass Bay. You can actually take a walking track up through two of the mountains (Amos and Mayson) in order to get to a lookout above Wineglass Bay. the views are spectacular. And if you are so inclined you can continue to walk down to Wineglass Bay itself and enjoy the beach and its beauty. We have walked up to the lookout, which can be a challenge, but have never walked down to the beach - Due to the steep track that one has to use again to return on when walking back.
They say the mountain range got its name from a local whaler, African-American Captain Richard Hazard.
The range consists of five mountains, which are individually named as Mount Mayson, Mount Amos, Mount Dove, Mount Baudin and Mount Parson.
