Mount Beerwah Summit
The highest of the Glasshouse Mountains, the Mt Beerwah summit walk is slightly easier than Mt Tibrogargan but still quite challenging. It has extensive views of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland and Glasshouse Mountains.

Mount Beerwah Western Boundary
Just a short stroll with glimpses of Mount Beerwah on your left. this track ended with no signage although we continued walking along the fire trail until we came out at a main fire trail near the power lines possibly called Connection Road. The extra walk would be aprox 1.5-2km each way which made the total walk about 1hr.

Mount Cooee
At just 167m, this is probably the least climbed and one of the least known mountains in the area, especially as it is overshadowed by Mount Tibrogargan immediately to the west.

Mt Beerwah East Face
With the summmit track closed due to a massive rockfall in 2008 this is an alternative route to the summit. It is quite steep and exposed in places and not recommended if you don't have a head for heights.

Mt Coonowrin
Access to this mountain is closed. Significant penalties apply to anyone found on this mountain without a permit. It is unclear on what grounds a permit may be granted, but if one can be obtained, the previously established route would likely have disappeared.

Mt Coonowrin Summit
This climb has been closed since the late 90's when I last climbed this mountain.QPWS have banned public access to Mt Coonowrin due to unstable rock and safety concerns. I have included these notes in the hope that QPWS will one day reopen this mountain.
WARNING: Any one caught walking or climbing this mountain faces a minimum $440 fine.
This track requires rock climbing experience and is extremely exposed and WILL result in death or serious injury if attempted by the inexperienced.

Mt Elimbah (The Saddleback)
At only 120m high this is an easy climb to the top of one of the two most southerly of the Glass House Mountains. The terrain is mostly rocks with grass or dense bush but has a surprisingly good 360° view from the top.

Mt Miketeebumulgrai
Mt. Mike as it is known is twice as tall as its neighbour Mt Elimbah with a fast but steep ascent through eucalypt forest nested on scree and leaf litter-covered slopes. The views from the top are not great but what can be seen is the extensive horticulture on the plains below, particularly of strawberries and pineapples.
