Why it's worth checking out
The Earl Hill Summit Track starts on Flagship Drive in Trinity Park, near the northern beaches of Cairns in tropical Far North Queensland. With 260 reviews behind its 4.6 rating, it's a much-loved walk.
The appeal is a rewarding climb with breathtaking views — a track leading up Earl Hill to spectacular outlooks over the northern beaches, the coast and the Coral Sea, a genuine highlight for walkers and view-seekers. It's a lovely way to take in the beautiful tropical coast.
Trails have changing conditions, can be steep and exposed, and it's warm in the tropics, so wear proper footwear, take plenty of water and check current conditions before you head out. Otherwise it's a free, rewarding walk to enjoy whenever the weather's good — bring sun protection and take your time at the top.
