Before you go

This is a National Scenic Trail. Choose a segment suited to the group and arrange transport if the walk ends at another trailhead.

Allow time for the approach, interpretation and breaks. Check the specific facilities and walking surfaces your guests need.

Current access, reservations, fees and operating arrangements should be checked with the official operator or managing agency. Photographs can show earlier conditions.
