The 8.8 km walk up the mountain through the rainforest, culminates in breathtaking 360 degree views with views stretching from The Gold Coast to Byron Bay. The last bit of the climb is quite steep and rocky. There's a chain to hold onto but it gets quite cold and wet so I suggest you bring a pair of gloves with you. The summit is a perfect place to picnic before heading back down again. IMPORTANT: You need to start this walk in the morning to give yourself enough time to be back before it gets dark. Allow 5 hours. https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/walking-tracks/wollumbin-mount-warning-summit-track
