Route/Trail notes
700mts. Quite steep. The quickest we have done this is in 7mins 56sec up and 4min 23sec down. Bitumen the whole way. If you are looking for something else, from the bottom of the carpark turn right and head along the forest trail for a couple of mins and you can then follow a bush track up the side of the mountain. This track only takes you halfway up though.
Permits/Costs

We took our 5 yr old and 7 yr old up this small mountain on ANZAC DAY. They LOVED the adventure and couldn't believe how high they had climbed when they reached the top. Spectacular views of the Glasshouse Mtns and Moreton Bay. We all felt proud of our achievement afterwards. A great trek for beginners. Reminder to parents to supervise their kids so they don't run all the way back down in case they fall head over heels. Note to self: bring mozzie spray next time we go walking :)jen on 26 Sep, 2011

To celebrate my son's 3rd birthday, we got up at 4am and drove up to watch the sunrise. Absolutely spectacular- the pick out of all the Glasshouse mountains to watch the sunrise from. The view at sunset is also worth watchingJuli on May, 2011
Walked up with the little one on my back. In the car park a few people warmed me that I would find it hard going and steep, but it was fine, except for the little voice behind my back asking can't I go any faster lol. Fantastic views from the top.firefly on 2006
Easy walk - strenuous but steady. Okay views.
