The trail starts at around 1,000 feet in elevation and climbs to over 2,500 feet. A total elevation gain of over 1,500 feet means this hike isn't for everyone and is considered to be moderately difficult.
Amazing views can be had from pretty much any direction along this trails. Gorgeous ocean and town views in one direction, lush and green mountain views with waterfalls in the other. Bring a camera and you'll get some great shots if visibility is good.
And on that note, one issue here can be the weather. This is the windward side of the island which means things get wetter over here and this the trail may be muddy.
