Mount Gower Information
The majestic Mount Gower is the highest point on Lord Howe Island, a volcanic landmass often shrouded in mist. It’s the island’s iconic image with its brooding shape looming over the lagoon. From its 850-metre summit there are breathtaking views to Mount Lidgbird directly in front, the lagoon below and, across the ocean, to Ball’s Pyramid, 23 kms away. It’s a strenuous trek to the top, which must be undertaken with a guide. The return journey takes eight hours and walkers are likely to encounter the rare Woodhen that lives on nearby Little Island and nesting Providence Petrels.
