This trip has an activity level range of 1-3. Several routes are offered each day so you can choose our perfect amount of activity.
The terrain on this trip is hilly—you'll encounter continuous short ups and downs (and a few longer climbs), making the hikes both challenging at times and highly rewarding (think great views!). We walk and hike on well-maintained trails, but you will encounter roots and rocks frequently; at times trails might be muddy, slippery or exposed.
