About this place
Mount Trio has three separate summits linked by a plateau. The trail starts and finishes at a picnic area set amongst shady trees, a pleasant place to rest after your walk.
A steep climb that leads to a broad saddle between the north and east peaks. From the saddle it’s an easy stroll to the north peak where you can enjoy sweeping views of Mount Toolbrunup and mountains to the south-west. Montane thicket on the upper levels of the peaks puts on a colourful display of wildflowers in spring and early summer.
