A superb hike with beautiful views. However, it can be dangerous. There's a lot of water along the way: you either walk in it or on rocks that aren't necessarily stable. In addition, there are many dead leaves and they're very slippery. Follow the blue markings carefully to avoid straying from the route.
I recommend it, but not alone.
