This is the elevation profile for our hike. As you can see, there are no 'rest spots' where the trail levels out. Plan to spend 3 hours on this hike including time to enjoy the incredible views at the top. The hike itself took us 2.5 hours plus 30 minutes spent enjoying the view. Round trip, our hike was 7.72km with an elevation of 549m. This trail has a fairly high effort to reward ratio, but it is so worth it. Pack water, snacks and break out the hiking poles if your knees are bad because this hike it worth the effort required.
