The Mount Maroon caves sit beneath towering rhyolite cliff bands on the western side of the mountain, forming large overhangs and sheltered rock chambers tucked into the escarpment. Reaching the caves involves steep, rough terrain and off-track navigation, but the area opens into dramatic cliff scenery once you arrive. Smaller caves and rock shelters continue along sections of the cliff line, with exposed ridges and views across the Scenic Rim surrounding the area. Loose rock and rockfall are possible beneath the cliffs, so extra caution is needed around the cave walls and steeper sections.
