The Horn Trail

The road to the carpark at The Horn, the highest point on Mt Buffalo, is an excellent introduction to the scenery that lies ahead. From there it is only a short walk to the base of the pinnacle, where a small climb with the help of handrails and ladders takes you to a magnificent lookout. The top of the track treats visitors with a superb, 360-degree vista over the Australian Alps and Mount Buffalo National Park.
