   This is a fairly easy and enjoyable trace. There are a lot of pools around the first half of it that were great to swim in, and you will encounter plenty of small waterfalls along the way. There are a couple of waterfalls you may have difficulty climbing if climbing isn't your thing however there is always a way to avoid them if you want to continue ... on. This includes the large waterfall where you can see the highway, you can climb out and around cross the road and get back in for a bit.
