Gentle 6.6 kilometer loop is one of the easier routes in the reserve, making it perfect for a relaxed morning hike. You'll wander through lovely indigenous forests and cross streams. The trailhead is a short drive from the main entrance gate, but be sure to arrive early to secure parking, especially on sunny weekends. Some sections of the trail were a bit overgrown when we visited. Bring enough water as there's very little shade on the trail.
