Many report that the hardest part of the hike is going up and down the steep rock stairway, which can often be exceedingly slippery at times. Although this trail is not a long one at over 8 miles, and the pace is relatively gradual when compared to other challenging hikes, it is difficult because of the potential risk of landslides.
