Notes

  • The first hike is a 1.2 km loop, rated easy on flat level ground and most of it is on a wooden boardwalk and suitable for everyone. Fast hikers will be able to do the hike twice in about 40 mins. Those hiking at a leisurely pace will be able to do it once. 
  • The second hike is a 2.2 km loop, uphill one way. It is rated as moderate to difficult with rough terrain, exposed tree roots and rocks. The climb is steep in some sections but you are rewarded with a spectacular vista when you reach the summit. 
  • Both hikes are optional. If you decided to skip the second hike, you will be taken back to the visitor's centre where you can enjoy the beautiful deck, the bookstore & giftshop, restrooms and wifi.
