This trail in the lesser-known southern part of Koli National Park gathers together some of the rarer treasures of the park. On your hike, you can learn more about the values of the national park and operating in the wilderness. The demanding trail feature large elevation differences and steep stairs. Some parts of the trail are also very rocky and have exposed tree roots on the path. One section of the trail also features a river crossing with a wading cable which you can skip if you want. A good basic fitness level is sufficient for the trail.
