Really recommend, such a beautiful trail, it is undergoing work so starts in a slightly different place. It was rainy and cloudy when we did it but it was still really lovely. Wasnt too hard either and you can take your time. Uneven of course in parts due to it being in a woodland but the path is really well marked. So glad that i did this trail! I would say it took about an hour to go up

This trail goes uphill—it's definitely not an easy walk. Once you find the starting point though, it's well marked throughout. Great views from the top, and you'll save money by skipping the cable car.

Takes just under an hour. Mixture of rocks and exposed tree roots. Quite steep in some places. Would definitely be slippery if it was wet. It was fun to watch the people of the zip line wizzing through the trees. No water on the trail.

Trail is beautiful. It’s very rocky. Easier going up than down for me. It is a hiking trail and can be steep at times. There is a gondola at top if you don’t want to walk down. Round trip for me was 2 plus hours. I spent time taking pictures. Bring water.

Very scenic hike, one of the best. Very straight up and down but not too difficult. Best of it all is u can save big bucks riding the gondola. 😅 The valley part is tge trailhead us hidden sooo well that u can hardly find it. I also got lost on the way down past the wooden statue. Need to have better signage for people to find it.
