Trachyte circuit- great views, stunning track, however the signs for where to go weren’t great. We got lost and had to look up where to go. We weren’t able to complete the track due to the lack to proper signs.

Can I go by train?
I want to go from Brisbane to the mountains, but I do't have a car, is it good doing it by train?
Thank you!

Well I really don't know where to start.....the mozzies are attrocious due to the stagnant water dam, the amenities have good water pressure but need a bloody good clean and the fire pit area needs serious attention. However, our most lasting impression....as members of a 4wd camping group who support many sites is the ill mannered and forgetful manager who berated a multitude of guests and harassed a multitude of guests to see if they had booked in and paid AFTER they had done so hours before. I cannot say that we or any of the other 40 or so people we were with will be back. I am sure that this post will be deleted but I will also be leaving this on true local and other review sites to forewarn others. Thumbs down.

My wife and I climbed Mt. Ngungun today and found the track improved since our first ascent in 2010. It took us about 25 minutes without pushing hard. As the weather was clear we were able to enjoy the fabulous 360' views from the summit and took some great photos. Highly recommended to any visitor or resident of the Sunshine Coast

Can no longer drive to the base of lookout. This is a very steep walk (although short) up the side of Wild Horse Mountain so definitely be prepared. Upon reaching the lookout great views of both the northern and southern coasts and out to the bay. I have driven past this Lookout for many years and wish I had been to this lookout sooner. The western views looking over the glasshouse mountains were great.
Inside the lookout are many information boards, interesting history.

We went there driving from sunshine coast.
The lookout point Maleny gives better view since its even more higher than the glasshouse mountain lookout and also the drive along mountain to Maleny is better.
Then there is a guided rainforest tour in Maleny for about 2 kms which has old trees aged 500yrs or more which is very interesting.
Just skip glasshouse mountain lookout and go to Maleny straight away.

Mt Tibrogargan is my favourite mountain to climb. Although it isn't far - it is challenging with some vertical cliff faces to climb. Amazing views from the top. We spent over an hour just sitting at the top - plenty of photo opportunities with Mts in the background. Toilets are onsite near the car park.
Mt Beerburrum is only 1.4km return but it is one steep pathway to the top. Worth taking a water bottle and take it slow. It took us over 15 mins to walk to the top as we kept stopping for a breather!
There are no toilets on site.
Mt Ngungun took us 20 mins to the top and 15 mins down. There is plenty of stuff to look at along the way including a spectacular cave.
There are some amazing photo opportunities from the top. We spent roughly an hour at the top and only can down because we got hungry.
There are no toilets at the bottom of the mountain.
Mt Beerwah is currently closed and we were unable to climb it. There is a nice Punic area and toilets at the bottom.

My family and I spend a lot of time hiking and climbing the glasshouse mountains and theres plenty of options.
For low fitness levels or those with little to no hiking and climbing experience mount beerburrum is a great place to start. Mum and I made it up there carrying a baby each with 5-9 year olds in toe. Definitely a good one for the kids. Mt Ngungun is also another good option for this.
For those with higher fitness levels and a little confidence and experience, mount tub is definitely amazing. Its great for a full body experience so don't worry if your legs get sore, you can use your arms too. (my knees dislocate and I have no trouble climbing mount Tib). If you have no experience at all, you could probably still get up the mountain, just make sure you do it in a group and be confident!
The biggest and best mountain in my opinion is Mount Beerwah. Its definitely one for experienced climbers as the slope is steep and is more of a climb or scramble than a hike. I would definitely not take children up mount beerwah. I would also not go up if you have never hiked or climbed before or have a very low fitness level.
For experienced climbers however, Mt Beerwah is a dream! its mostly smooth sandstone so wear shoes with good grip (or go barefoot). The view at the top is definitely worth the gruelling climb with 360 degree views as far as the eye can see. Most rewarding climb ever!

I recently climbed to the summit of Mount Tibrogargan with a group of friends.
The actual climb has been closed until recently, Dec 14, I think. But is up and running again.
Take Barrs road off the Steve Irwin Way to get to the carpark for the beginning of the hike, there is also a 3 or 6km walking circuit that leaves from here too.
The hike to the summit is pretty steep and hard work, the walk to the beginning of the climb is easy going and you meet a lot of others coming down that will give you good tips, or just tell you how hard it is.
Once you are at the beginning of the actual climb and look up, it can be quite daunting, but you are looking at 2 of the hardest parts of the climb. Once you have done these 2 sections, you are away.
Ask people who are there coming down which are the best routes to take or just look and choose for yourself.
Take good shoes/boots for hiking, this isn't a Sunday morning stroll.
Take lots of water, sunblock and don't forget your camera, the views on a clear day are amazing.
Most of all, bring your smile and have fun!!

We arrived at the Glass House Mountains Visitor Centre late in the morning. We only had a few hours to spend and we wanted to see the best of the national park. The kind woman in the centre gave us a map. There were only a few things to see so that was convenient. First of all we drove to Mt. Ngungun. A steep walk up. Really steep. But the view from the mountain was truly amazing. You can see all the mountains rise up from its flat surroundings. Really nice, it was worth the walk. Next we went to Mt. Tibrogargan. Here you have the choice to walk 2 track, an easy and a difficult one. We took the easy one because of our time limit. It was just a walk in the forest, nothing really special. No great views. Our final stop was the Glass House Mountains lookout. Just the general lookout. Not really special either. I recommend climbing Mt. Ngungun. Just take your time. Took us 2 hours return, which I believe was fast. GHM are easily visited in half a day.
