Hiking
To reach the summit, you'll encounter a somewhat demanding but steady incline, although it's not overly challenging. As you near the highest point of the peak, you'll come across a beacon tower constructed in the 1920s as part of the air mail system. The views from here are absolutely stunning, and there are several viewpoints nearby where you can enjoy the scenery.
