    Short walk up to a viewing platform of wooden construction which we climbed up on - about 30-40 round trip. Good if you are tight for time. Gravel path with a few steps.  more »
  • By Julie C
    This track leads to the ridge (as suggested by the name) that enables you to have a good view of the area. Took us 30 min return.  more »
