Easy wide (tarmac road) trail for pedestrians, runners and dogs, through woods and along the edge of river banks. It seems like you can go quite a bit further, by crossing one or two roads, which I didn't do.

This is the white line around the Bear Creek hotel. It contains the very nice and technical demanding rock garden that is typical for this area. That makes this only 10km trip harder than it seams in the first look.

Nice hike. If you follow the loop, the “up” side is quite steep in places and rocky underfoot, but the trail is well maintained. Payoff is a beautiful view. The “down” side is more gradual, and an easy hike.
