Description

This brisk 13 km hike passes through mixed hardwood forest and offers many vistas looking out over the Land Forces Training Centre.  We begin on the River Kwai Side Trail and then follow the Main Trail along the escarpment edge for several km, enjoying the many crevices and cliff-top views.  The trail loops back to rejoin the St Vincent-Sydenham Townline where we will walk back to our cars.  The trail is relatively flat but the terrain is rugged with uneven footing.  Excellent hiking boots are a must.
