This 8-mile circle is typically considered a fairly tricky course that takes an average of 4 hours and 30 minutes to complete. Although this is a popular hiking, mountain biking, and walking track, you may still find some seclusion during the calmer hours of the day. If you’re going to take a break, stop at the first viewpoint for a leisurely lunch and a stroll in the ecological reserve.
