No matter how many times we do this trail, it never disappoints! The forests leading up to the summit are lush and inviting, the waterfall along the way is gorgeous, and the views from the top are world class! Our guides are long-time locals, who have a deep connection with this trail and are happy to share their knowledge of the stunning local landscapes, ecosystems, and history. We should also add that no matter how many times we do it, this trail never ceases to be a challenge! Our guide describes this hike as 'the local stair master' - and we are guessing you'll be good to skip 'leg day' after! No matter whether you are a new (or first-time!) hiker or an experienced trail runner, our guide will be happy to adapt to your pace. The small group setting ensures you receive personalized attention, allowing for a relaxed and engaging atmosphere. Because of the elevation gain of this hike, it can last anywhere from 1.5-4.5 hours, depending on your fitness level.
