What to expect
A well-formed unpaved track through tall forest with gentle to moderate grades. The forest canopy provides good shade, though sections may be exposed to sky after storm damage. Underfoot is typically firm earth and leaf litter. The track should be signposted or easy to follow; wear sturdy walking boots for grip on loose ground.
Good to know
