Brief Description 

Explore the some big challenges in the Scenic Rim with this action packed weekend. Two days of twin summits will leave your legs stronger and your hearts full.  SELF DRIVE. 

OVERVIEW:

Day 1: Mt Maroon & Mt May 

Arrive at the Mt May Carpark for a 10am start. GirlsTrek GO WILD  will provide you a nutritious trekker lunch for your backpack.

Trek: Twin Summits Maroon & May 11 km 1320m elevation

On your trek today you have some strong ascents through open eucalpt forest and grass tree groves. Mt May is an out and back on a mostly open trail. The grass can be long at times in this lesser known climb and long pants are definitely advised. Once the first summit is bagged we take a short drive to Mt Maroon for our second summit. Mt Maroon is more rocky and has a steep section that requires three points of contact for ascent and decent.  

Late in the day we check in to our accommodation in the country town of Boonah and enjoy dinner at the local pub.

Meals: Lunch and Dinner


Day 2: Mt Mitchell & Mt Cordeaux

Begin the day with a stretch and then breakfast at the accommodation. GirlsTrek GO WILD will once again provide you with lunch.

Trek: Mt Mitchell & Mt Cordeaux 24 km 1040m elevation

The 360 views from the summit of Mt Mitchell never fail to disappoint. Enjoy a big day out with a mixture of rainforest, grass trees and eucalypts.

After our inspiring day we can settle in for a celebratory drink and dinner at the in house restaurant of our accommodation
