One of the most enjoyable ways to hit your fitness goals is to take one of the many beautiful walks around the Glass House Mountains.

There is something for all fitness levels, but more important is the opportunity to get out into the fresh air and sunshine and appreciate the wonders of nature.

Start at Wild Horse Mountain. Located in the Beerburrum State Forest, it is recognisable as the only peak on the eastern side of the Bruce Highway. It is a relatively short walk at 700 metres one way, but it is a little steep. Don’t hurry, take your time and listen out for the kookaburras and catch a glimpse of the wagtails.

The Wild Horse Mountain lookout is your destination and when you get there, you are rewarded with 360-degree uninterrupted views of the Glass House Mountains to the west and the Sunshine Coast to the east.

If you’re looking to get a little closer to the Glass House Mountains, the Mount Ngungun summit walking track is ideal. This 2.8km walk takes you through open forests and ends with a stunning view of Mount Tibrogargan, Mount Coonowrin and Mount Beerwah at the summit.

Keen to really stretch your legs? Then explore the 6km circuit that links Mount Tibrogargan and Mount Tibberoowuccum. This walk takes between two to three hours along a well-marked trail through beautiful open woodlands.

Before heading out on hikes, make sure you wear suitable footwear, carry a bottle of water with you, and ensure you stay on marked trails only. Also, take a camera and binoculars and really savour the stunning scenery.
