Itinerary description
Park on the approach road to the dam car park, and walk around the dam to the start of the steps. After about 20-30 steps up there is a trail that goes off to the right. The trail is well-maintained and clear all the way around. you will get to a shelter that has a partially completed WC block beside it, the turning point is just beyond this. the u-turn is what gives this trail its name, a bit of a steep climb :)

Really enjoyed this route as an alternative to taking the steps at Showka Dam. Took us longer than 2.5hrs, but we did have a lot of long stops!
Glad you enjoyed it!

We took the stairs from the dam and followed the waypoint in the middle up to the end. The waypoint is accurate and the trail is easy and family friendly.
