    Tips

    October 23, 2023

    This trail is for those who want a good amount of elevation gain while enjoying the experience of being immersed in the forest, walking along creeks and crossing many bridges. Another plus to the loop is that it is not so popular, allowing some quiet and solo moments. One of the things about it, is that there is no view point (it’s entirely tree-covered), but it’s in good condition, allowing hikers to calmly enjoy the forest.
