Route: The Scenic Rim Trail

This route is not for the feint of heart. The very steep, very technical walk is rewarding with spectacular views.

It traverses the Main Range, south west of Brisbane, from Thornton in the north to Cunningham's Gap in the south. 

Reminders of the timber trade are found along the trail with spectacular views of Mount Mistake, Mount Castle, the Fassifern Valley, Brisbane City, Mount Cordeaux, Mount Barney. The walk traverses a wide array of landscapes, including sections of the UNESCO listed world heritage Gondwana Rainforests.

This route is classed as a grade 5 track - unformed and unmarked in places, rough and very steep, difficult sections with many obstacles.
