Charles Knife Canyon
A ridge-top road into the range with canyon views — best at sunrise.
Charles Knife Road climbs a knife-edge ridge into the eastern side of Cape Range, with steep canyons falling away on both sides.
It is the classic Exmouth sunrise drive; low light throws the canyon walls into deep relief. A walking trail continues from the top.
