Glass House Mountains hiker dies

A woman has fallen to her death while walking the Mt Ngungun trail in Queensland's Glass House Mountains.

A woman has died after falling off a cliff face in Queensland's Glass House Mountains.

Paramedics tried to revive the injured woman but she died at the scene on Thursday morning.

Acting Senior Sergeant Trevor Mills said it appeared the woman had fallen off a 50-metre cliff.

"We're currently undertaking an investigation as to the circumstances surrounding how she has fallen off the mountain," Acting Senior Sergeant Trevor Mills said.

She had been walking the summit track of Mt Ngungun and it had been difficult for emergency crews to reach her.

The popular Mt Ngungun summit track is advertised online as a graded path that leads through a steep, rocky gully and can be completed with relative ease.
