Did return via Pinnacle trail to add variety.

Nice night walk. Good workout. Should do this one regularly.

Easy walk but steep up Pinnacle then Powerful Owl. Down via Simpson Falls a pleasant walk.

This is definitely a strenuous walk. Be parked at the entrance to JC Slaughter falls and walked up to the start of the walk at the Silky Oak picnic area and returned via the Simpson Falls track which was definitely a nicer walk. The Powerful Owl track is a wider track and looks like a service road. The Simpson Falls track has been upgraded since we last walked it and is a really nice walking track with stairs, a lookout and bridges. The Powerful Owl walk isn't actually a circuit, and we were happy to have done that one first so that we could enjoy the much nicer Simpsons Falls track.

Started at the Silky Oak picnic area so began with the relatively steep incline, definitely gets the blood pumping. After you reach the top it's a fairly smooth walk to the finish. Well defined and wide track.

Good track to do. Be prepared for hills and some loose stones but otherwise a great track to include in a circuit.

Completed this as track part of a 9km circuit - started with the Litchfield track, then the Ghost Hole Track, Powerful Owl Trail, Hovea Track and the Summit Track.

Great walking right in our city

This is a very steep trail at the beginning which makes for a great heart starter but overall it's not a very long walk and it was easily completed in 45 mins without pushing hard. A nice short walk if you don't have much time but want a bit of outdoor exercise.

Steep section is great for training

Connected to this track via the Eugenia circuit and found another track leading down to the Slaughter Falls picnic area.

It's a good work out but not as interesting as Simpson's Falls

This was a good walk for pack training. We branched off just before the Channel 9 Station and returned to the car park via the Simpsons Falls track. Not much scenery but we spotted a few pale headed rosellas.

Not a very scenic route. Follows 4X4 fire management trail up ridgeline towards Channel 9 tower before branching left and returning to carpark. Reasonably steep in places.

There are better tracks on Mt Coot-tha

Another of my regular walks

A great walk.

From the carpark the walk doesn't seem all that bad until you round the first corner approx 50m in then the walk becomes incredibly steep. At this point have a little rest a mouthful of water and just tackle it.
When you get to the top there is a little green walking track marker post turn left here. Don't follow the track straight ahead. Around 500-700m there is a slight track leading to the right where an old tree has fallen down. It is a good little lookout.
When back on track keep following track to the left. The numerous track shooting off to the right go down to JC Slaughter Falls area.
Soon you reach a second high point and then the track starts to drop steeply following this down will take you back to the park approx 100m from the carpark its a short walk back to the carpark.
