Trail Overview

This is an advanced route due to challenging terrain, plan 1.5 hours one way. We recommend beginning your adventure near Lake Berval. You'll follow the path alongside the electric tower, which offers some excellent scenic views. Expect to encounter 20 to 25 rocky inclines, loose rocks, and mud holes along the way. Cell phone reception is reliable throughout the journey. About halfway through the trail, you'll face a muddy ditch, which will be the most difficult obstacle to navigate. Make sure to plan an exit strategy before attempting to cross in case you get stuck and turn back if unsure. For those looking to extend their journey, you can return to the starting point via the Twin Rivers trail, which runs parallel to this one. Vehicles equipped with 35'' tires and at least 10'' of clearance are recommended. Additionally, lockers will be necessary for some parts of the ascent.
