Route/Trail notes
It's a steep and muddy climb. Tully gets the most rain in QLD so don't expect it to ever really be dry. It's 2.5km to Scouts Rock lookout. Some will be statisfied with just getting here. However if you want to top the mountain than continue further (this deffenitly isn't as much walked compared to getting to the look out. Once at the top, views can be hard to find due to dense rainforest. Scrambling/climbing on the rock faces might get something but not as great as the lookout before. One the way down watch your step, hold vines and aviod sliping.
