Adventure Tips
Bring at least 1.5L of water
There are no facilities along this trail, so staying hydrated is critical, especially under the midday sun.
Wear proper footwear
Closed sports trainers with socks are mandatory—avoid flip-flops or sandals to safely navigate rocky, uneven surfaces.
Pack swimwear and sun protection

Be prepared for cliffside exposure
Sections of the hike involve steep drops and wind; trekking poles may help less experienced hikers maintain balance.
