This path is difficult to navigate in places. The stream flowing down mixes with the path and as people have deviated, it has created multiple routes. At times passes very close to the edge, so tread with care.

The lower section of the circular trail offers a new perspective on the fascinating rock formations with every step. And you're right in the middle of it all. The upper section of the trail offers even more expansive views. Easily manageable with sturdy footwear.
A highly recommended loop!
I recommend using the stone steps near the parking lot for the descent and starting the loop with the lower section.
