Named by Cook during his epic voyage along Australia's east coast, the Glass House Mountains are rhyolitic volcanic plugs left by volcanic activity millions of years ago. This area has special significance for the Gubbi Gubbi Aboriginal people.
Remnants of the open eucalypt woodland and mountain heath vegetation, which once covered the coastal plains, provide a home for an interesting variety of wildlife including 26 rare and threatened plants.
This steep 700 metre trail goes straight up the 253 metre high mountain, through open eucalypt forest past the cave to an informal lookout over the Glass House Mountains township and surroundings.
The walk continues up the bare rock face then takes you along a narrow path to the summit, where you are rewarded by the fabulous views. From here, you can see all the other surrounding mountains and the green patchwork of farmlands below.
