Difficulty:
Strenuous
Distance:
17.7km / 11.0mi
Ascent:
762m / 2500ft

There are a couple of steepish climbs but well worth it for the views. It’s graded strenuous because of the amount of ascent but there are options to bypass some of the ascent in a couple of places if you’d prefer to take it a bit easier on the day.
