Great way to start a girls weekend away. Did this walk mid morning on a Friday and it was relatively busy. Lots of pleasant 'hellos' and everyone was super polite and courteous to different fitness levels. Easy walk, steady incline and great views of the pacific ocean at the top. | ||||

Have walked the Mt Coot-tha Summit Trek hundreds of times. It's been part of my weekly routine for many years, even in the dead of winter, cold, dark and hauntingly beautiful. It's an easy walk, well maintained and very popular, especially on weekends. We always go up over the mountain at the top, then head down to Fleming Rd, Chapel Hill, sometimes coming back via the Reservoir Trail. There are so many great walks for all types of fitness levels. The Kokoda trail is definitely a difficult walk and great for fitness training. For us Brisbane folk, we're super fortunate to have this mountain on our doorstep! | ||||

Perfect blue skies and a pleasant 23 degrees. Headed off around 10am and the path was pretty clear ahead. Other hikers were friendly and considerate when passing. It was a tough hike, solid ascent with some tricky spots, but really good fun. The view at the top is simply stunning! Snacks and water a must. |
