Circle View Mountain, abbreviated as CVM, is located near, Hencamp Creek, Ollera Creek, and Bell's Track. The challenge is what attracts those that venture this way, as it's a tough trek. The summit can be done in one day (return) but it's recommended to do as an overnighter or a multi-day trip to fully enjoy it.
