Mount Ngungun Summit Sunset Hike

Details

The sunsets are quite spectacular lately with orange and red hues.

Who then wants to hike up Mt Ngungun on the Sunshine Coast to see sunset? The trail is slightly rocky so reasonable shoes are good (sports shoes are fine). I've checked with the locals and the showers are forecasted to stop early morning and will be dry by the time we get there in the middle of the afternoon.

It takes 30 minutes up for those with good fitness and 45 minutes to an hour for those with reasonable fitness. 30 minutes back down.

The Mount Ngungun summit walking track, In Glass House Mountains National Park, is a 2.8 kilometre return trail that begins in open forest and offers great views of Mount Tibrogargan, Mount Coonowrin and Mount Beerwah from the summit. Don't forget to pack your camera as you'll find a 360 degree panoramic view of the coast and hinterland at the top!
