The Adnyamathanha people have expressed concern with tourists trekking to the peak as they regard it as a sacred place and not to be visited.^[4][5] However, the peak and its surroundings may be accessed via a walking trail from Wilpena Resort along the north-east edge of the range outside of Ikara, or via a longer trail through the middle of the pound.^[6]
