Stop at Mountain View lookout to admire views of Beerwah and Coonowrin. Follow the circuit through casuarina and melaleuca forest looking for yellow-tailed black-cockatoos and birds of prey soaring above.

The Glass House Mountains are evidence of igneous intrusions around 25–27 million years ago. Weather has long eroded away the surrounding softer rock, leaving behind the harder rock of the magnificent craggy peaks we see today. 17
