Itinerary description

This is a popular hike for Penang, although few people venture to continue to the top of the hill. When you start out in the Youth Park there are many trail options up the hill, but they pretty much all lead to Station 3. From there you will hike up to the Moon Gate trail and continue to Station 5. After continuing past Station the trail flattens out for a large section. It is one of things I like about this hike because it essentially gives you a rest in the middle of the hike. Eventually you will come to Station 84. This is where you will start heading up again. The trail gets slippy at spots and the workout continues. For the last section you will see the tram track and you can follow any number of paths to the top of the hill. On this hike I took a wrong turn at the end and went up some restricted stairs to the platform, but it was OK. The fine was worth it! JK
