TRAIL TOPOGRAPHY:

TRAIL DESCRIPTION:

The route to the summit from the parking lot is two kilometres long. Halfway along the route, visitors can rest at a lean-to shelter. The route is on a forest road up until the lean-to shelter, after which the trail becomes more challenging. The route gradually ascends to an elevation of 160 metres along its two-kilometre path.

GOOD TO KNOW:• tour/mountain biking is

only allowed on roads and separately-marked biking routes along the trail.

• during forest fire warnings, making any open fires is expressly prohibited

• pets are welcome on the route and in the huts. Please remember to keep your animal friends leashed at all times.

• there are no waste receptacles at the rest stops, so please remember to "Leave No Trace”

• the dry toilets do not include any toilet paper
