Really nice hike. Well Marked out trail with beautiful panoramic views meeting you at the summit.
It took us adults about 2.5 hrs to complete. However, we stopped quite alot with the children. It could be completed in 2 hours quite comfortably.
As we set off quite late and wanted to be finished by sunset, our boys [11 and 12 yo] took a shorter trail option while we continued to the top.
It was slightly cloudy today. Will definitely be back when the weather is clearer.
Thanks for the reply! It sounds like you had a great hike despite the cloudy weather. The panoramic views from the summit must have been amazing, even with the clouds.
2.5 hours sounds like a decent amount of time for the hike, especially with children.
