This is a 1.7-mile loop trail that is well maintained and wide, making it quite easy to follow.
However, despite the shorter distance, this isn’t going to be the easiest journey. This route is considered moderate in difficulty as there are some steep climbs you must tackle.

You can't forget about the large flight of stairs you must climb either. But, the views at the top are worth every single step.
