Cathederal Steps

Cathedral Steps delivers a unique 4WD experience near Beerburrum, where you'll navigate a compact but technically interesting rock formation that rewards careful vehicle handling. Despite its modest 0.1 km length, this trail packs genuine character into a short burst of driving that showcases what precision off-roading is all about. You'll encounter natural rock steps and uneven terrain that demand respect from your vehicle, even though the 0% steep grade might suggest otherwise—the challenge lies in line selection and careful throttle control rather than extreme gradients.

The surrounding Queensland bushland provides pleasant scenery as you work your way through this short but memorable section. You should approach with moderate caution, as the rocky surface requires good ground clearance and responsive steering. While completion typically takes just three minutes, don't let that fool you into rushing—the terrain demands your full attention. Ensure your vehicle is in good mechanical condition, with properly inflated tyres suited to rocky conditions, and consider using the Newtracs app to review the precise line through the steps before you begin.
