The Sphinx and Turtle Rock

Epic views and some impressive granite rock formations await on this popular all-day hike in Girraween National Park. Begin the walk on the southern side of Pyramids Road, opposite the visitor information centre and branch off before Castle Rock. The track is gentle, along the side of a ridge, where you’ll have plenty of opportunities to take in views of Mt Norman and if you’re walking in Spring, fields of wildflowers. You’ll first reach The Sphinx, a large circular granite rock resting on top of a flat pinnacle. The next stop is Turtle Rock - a giant rock that resembles a turtle’s back. Please also keep in mind that sections of the track can become slippery after rain.
