Tips

March 22, 2026

Glacier Rock lookout sits high above Barron Gorge, where the dense rainforest of the Douglas track gives way to open views across the gorge and out towards the Barron River and coast. The lookout is reached after a steady climb, with the final stretch opening suddenly from enclosed forest to wide, elevated scenery. From the top, you can take in the scale of the gorge and surrounding ranges, with Red Bluff visible nearby. The platform is fenced, but edges can still feel exposed, and conditions may be humid or slippery after rain.
