Best and easiest of the Glass House Mountains by a long shot

BushwalkerBro on Sep, 2022

Haven't hiked in 5 months so even though this is graded as Easy I did find it hard and had to rest multiple times. Parts of the track are vey rocky. The view from the top is beautiful and gets very busy.

Steve had a one week break and we did this before I got COVID, Beautiful summit and lovely bracken groves on the way. The track was very busy on a weekday during school term. It would be impossible to find a quiet time I think. Sunrise and sunset are probably always very busy. We did this again in 2023. It is our favourite easy hike. We saw bee-eaters and scarlet honey eaters on grass trees near the summit. A friend of Steve's was at the top.

Nice hike to a beautiful view. 35 mins to the top and 25 down. Would describe it as harder than “easy”, the official description. Some footpaths but some sections climbing over small rocks as well.

Nice walk for a family outing. Lots of steps. Take care of children at the summit as there are some steep sections.

Not to busy - good walk for semi-fit 40somethings and 9yr old kid... good views at the top with some steep drops.

More medium than easier but still an enjoyable climb, great view from the top. Replace those burnt calories at “The Lookout Cafe” down the road.

Did the climb today, very busy on The Weekend but it was a great hike to do with the kids.

Perfect climb for kids! 30minutes up. We spent about 40 minutes up the top just exploring, and taking photos. Ran back down again. Kids loved it.

New to this free pleasure in life and the second bush walk i have completed and have done it twice now once on a weekend very crowded and completed once again during mid week and was so much better for me anyway. I took my 3 young sons <10 and they had a ball.

Not sure I would mark this as easy compared to Tibrogargan circuit. Definitely uphill with plenty of steps along the way. Great to stop at the caves for a few photos. Plenty of people had also packed a picnic lunch for the top which is a great idea - will do next time. Saw plenty of families doing this hike so achievable for all ages, just don’t think it was super ‘easy’

Beautiful clear morning sunrise hike

Steep and challenging for a beginner but worth it for the view. Easy walk down.

Love this mountain! 360 degree view of all the glasshouse mountains. Small scramble at the top.

Beautiful stunning views.

I wouldn’t call this walk ‘easy’. I’m not unfit but I found going up was quite hard, I had to stop a few times and have some water/catch my breath. There were people doing it in jeans, thongs, I even saw one lady in a suit jacket! Definitely recommend that you wear proper clothes and walking shoes. Took me 25 mins going up, much quicker coming down as I didn’t need to stop (forgot to time it though).
View from the top was great, didn’t want to come back down. I think next time I will come back for sunset.
I parked at the school at the end of the road, added a couple of kms to the walk.
Thought it would have been busier being a Sunday but wasn’t too bad.

Nice walk! Especially the last little part - that was quite fun. Although I am very unfit and had to stop a lot along the way I’d say it’s quite an easy walk. I saw many children doing it- including a man carrying one child on his front and one on his back. There was a lady with a baby. School children etc etc
I would say anyone could do this walk- even if you have to take a break every few hundred metres, just put one foot in front of the other and soon you’ll be looking at a lovely view!
Easy coming down as well- not slippery like some walks I’ve done.

Beaut straight forward kind of walk up the mountain when you can't do Mt Tibro or Beerwah. We took our kids up here many years ago when younger - a great spot for a picnic

Walked this again on Anzac Day. It is truely a special place in our country and very popular with tourists. As you walk up you realise that it is a test of your basic fitness levels, but nothing too hard to overcome. Little ones all the way up to the oldies are able to manage this walk in their own time. If you read the sign at the base you will realise that this area is home to very rare native flora found only in this area, so it might pay to mind your travels here and respect the surroundings. The ancient fern forest is just stunning! If you look closely you will see the "eye of the dragon" as you enter, this was one of the highlights of my walk. As you near the cave you can't help but wonder if the first Australians used this area for sacred meetings and affairs. It just feels spiritual. And you just know it. If you read the sign at the bottom then you of course would have noticed special wattle, flowers and green trunked trees! These beauties are just incredible to see and are found nowhere else really. The top is clearly breathtaking and has a one of a kind view back to Mount Coonowrin and Tiprogargan. The overlapping mountains. The glass house mountains is home to the Jinibara People (lawyer-vine), and each mountain represents a member of an ancient earth family which should be respected and well protected to be enjoyed for years to come. Please take your rubbish with you, as there was too much to be seen. This is aboriginal land and it is now our responsibility to keep it as pristine as they have for many years. Take without taking and leave without leaving. Thank you.
