You may not have time to light a fire on your trail run, but it's a good vantage point and there's a bench to take a breather on if you need it.

Some routes on this trail are listed as easy, with "no technical experience required" – this is incorrect. Large sections of the trail are not suitable for beginners. Note: Hikers are also present. For those with technical skills, this is a great route. I'd say S1 with a few S2 sections, but I'm not an expert.
