This is a well maintained trail with steady gain all the way up. During summer, it can be very dry, and plenty of sunscreen, eye protection and hats are encouraged. This trail offers plenty of stopping points to admire the forest, summer wildflowers and views. Truly a gem introduction to the Teanaway region.
