From the Glass House Mountains lookout day-use area, follow this easy track along the side of the hill through open scribbly gum forest with grass trees, and down through a wet eucalypt forest gully with emergent rainforest species.

Enjoy awesome views of the Glass House Mountains and surrounds from lookouts, then continue on the sometimes steep track through ironbark and tallowwood eucalypt forests back to the day-use area.

While you're at the day-use area, check out the fire tower for wider panoramic views of the Glass House Mountains. After your walk, enjoy a picnic with panoramic views as your backdrop.
