About

頭嵙山是一座位於臺灣臺中市北屯區東山里、民政里,以及新社區協成里交界處的山,屬於大坑風景區之內,隸屬加里山山脈之豐原丘陵,山頂海拔859.47公尺,平均海拔約400公尺,為原臺中市的最高峰,也是一座小百岳。山頂設有一等三角點及1120號二等三角點基石,可由大坑一號、二號、三號、四號、五號、五之一號登山步道攀登。山脊南方隔烏溪(大肚溪)源流茄苳寮溪與暗影山相望。 頭嵙山主稜呈南高北低,地勢自東向西漸降,在地質上是更新世地層頭嵙山層的標準地點。大部分山體屬頭嵙山層火炎山段,與苗栗的火炎山相同,故地形景觀也與之相似。由於頭嵙山地質脆弱,在大里溪、旱溪、大坑溪、廍子溪等烏溪支流切割侵蝕下,形成許多陡峭的尖稜。除了常見的低海拔闊葉林,部分不利闊葉樹全面入侵的山區,亦可見原生於臺灣中高海拔山區的南燭、水絲梨、臺灣二葉松等溫帶植物。
