The hike takes you through grassy slopes with few trees to obstruct your view.

Difficulty: About a 6 mile round trip from the campsite, with 1500 feet of elevation gain.
Preparation: None. The trail is along a dirt road. Some parts of the trail are steep with loose soil, so be careful of slipping going downhill.
Summary: A pretty short hike which can be done in half of an afternoon. A nice way to get views of the island. 3/5
