Mount Sorrow Ridge Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Mount Sorrow ridge trail in Daintree National Park is a relatively steep Grade 4 walking track that is moderately challenging, climbing through dense tropical rainforest to a high ridge on Mount Sorrow. The track is narrow, rough and often muddy, with exposed roots and requires a good level of fitness as it steadily ascends through thick vegetation in humid conditions. Near the top, breaks in the canopy offer peeks out toward the Great Barrier Reef and surrounding coastline, a rewarding contrast to the enclosed forest below.

Mount Sorrow rope assist climb

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This is a short rope-assisted section that helps walkers tackle one of the steepest parts of the climb. The slope here is narrow, can be muddy and is lined with exposed roots, and the rope is set in place to provide extra support rather than a true technical climb. It’s a brief but challenging stretch, but the rope is a great addition, especially in wet weather.

Mount Sorrow lookout

Highlight • Viewpoint

Mount Sorrow is a rugged, forested peak within the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area that rises above Cape Tribulation in Daintree National Forest. The mountain is covered in dense tropical rainforest and is known for its steep terrain and high rainfall, creating a lush but challenging environment. From here, there are fantastic views over the Cape Tribulation coastline and out toward the Coral Sea. On a clear day, the view extends far past the shore, where you can see Snapper Island in the distance.

Partly very steep and rooted, not feasible in the rain. Lots of spiders, so it's best to arm yourself with a stick to sweep them away.
