Highlights
Mount Tibrogargan Circuit
Walking trail: 5.7km return | 2 - 3 hours | Grade 3
The Glass House Mountains National Park is known for its craggy peaks that tower above the surrounding landscape. Mount Tibrogargan is located between Beerburrum and Glass House Mountains townships, off Marshs and Barrs Roads. The Tibrogargan circuit (1 kilometre to the Mountain View lookout, 4.1 kilometres for the complete circuit) begins from the northern end of the Mount Tibrogargan car park. A short walk (10mins) leads up to the Mountain View lookout with views over Mount Beerwah, Mount Coonowrin, Mount Tibberoowuccum and Mount Tunbubudla. then continue on the circuit walk around the base of Mount Tibrogargan through casuarina groves, open eucalypt and melaleuca forests. The track provides some great views of Mount Tibrogargan. Peregrine falcons are often seen soaring above this area.
Allow about one and a half hours to complete this circuit of a moderate grade. Allow ten minutes if you prefer to walk only to Mountain View lookout.
This walk is managed by the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service. See www.des.qld.gov.au for detailed maps and the latest park information. When you are in the park, read the signs at and near the start of the track.
Mount Tibrogargan Summit
Walking trail: 3km return | 2 - 3 hours | Grade 5 (experienced climbers only)
The Mount Tibrogargan Summit Hiking Trail in the Glass House Mountains National Park is one of the Sunshine Coast’s most famous – and most challenging – hikes. Rising 364 metres, this steep and exposed climb requires rock scrambling and a high level of fitness, making it suitable only for experienced hikers and climbers.
The summit trail is approximately 3 km return and involves navigating vertical rock faces, loose sections, and narrow ledges. While demanding, the reward is spectacular: sweeping 360-degree views over the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, neighbouring peaks like Mount Beerwah and Mount Ngungun, and the coastline stretching to Caloundra and Moreton Bay.
Considered one of the toughest hikes on the Sunshine Coast and suitable for experienced climbers only, the Mount Tibrogargan Summit Trail delivers a thrilling adventure and some of the most iconic views in Queensland.
