Though the trail is short, it is somewhat steep. There are sheer cliff drops along some parts, so you’ll want to step lightly and watch out for any young kids in your group.

The forest is full of old trees, lush foliage, and the calls of native birds. You may even catch a glimpse of larger wildlife, though it’s more likely that your eyes will be focused on the stunning nature around you.
