You'll notice the effect of altitude on the type of vegetation as you climb the mountain. Tall eucalyptus trees on the lower slopes give way first to dwarfed trees and then to low, windswept bushes and grasses.
Visit on a crisp winter's day and you may see snow covering the stunted vegetation of the sub-alpine landscape.
