The Mount Mathieson trail is an excellent way to explore the Spicers Gap section of Main Range National Park. The trail was built in 1986 by volunteers from the National Parks Association of Queensland, and climbs though rainforests, eucalyptus woodlands and over ridges filled with ancient grass trees. The trail has awesome views over Cunninghams Gap, Mount Mitchell, and the surrounding Scenic Rim.
