Hiking

A great hiking area in the national park, rivers, waterfalls and lots of nature. During the hike through the national park you will roam through two forms of vegetation, the wet grassland and the mountain rainforest. Highlights include the Small and Big World's End and Baker's Waterfall, as well as the Red Bridge.
