Tibrogargan Circuit

Walk or run the 4.2km Glass House Mountains National Park - Tibrogargan Circuit and delight in this well-crafted track with stunning views.

Suitability

This base circuit is suitable for walkers or runners, not too much elevation. Dogs are not allowed at this National Park. Allow 1hr 30 minutes walking time. 

Highlights

This trail through open eucalypt and casuarina woodland will best reward you in mornings or evenings when the sheer rock cliffs of the mountains are highlighted. Tibrogargan’s giant face gazes eastward and can take on different moods at different times. Right below it there is a rest stop to sit back and absorb his countenance.

There is a mountain view lookout on the back of the mountain. As well, some surrounding mountains such as Cooee and Tiberwoowuccum, are glimpsed from different sections of the track.

The care taken to construct the trail is evident in the crafted rock arch bridges. All-in-all, probably the Number 1 non-summit walk of the famous Glasshouse Mountains.

After the rain, probably wise to take mozzie repellent.
