Mount Qua Qua Trail
Mount Qua Qua
A ridge trail starting from Grand Etang, taking about 3 hours round trip, with views of a volcanic lake, rainforest and the coasts on both sides of the island.
Mount Qua Qua rises about 735 meters. The trail begins at the Grand Etang visitor center and climbs along the ridge through cloud forest and ferns. On a clear day, the summit offers views of both Grand Etang Lake and the sea on either side of the island. The round trip takes about 3 hours at a moderate difficulty, with muddy paths and tree roots underfoot, so wear shoes with good grip and bring a raincoat. Fit hikers can continue across to Concord Falls, but a guide is required.
