It was a spontaneous visit for me and my wife. So great... loved the walk. The view was pretty. If you appreciate history and hiking you will love it. I must return to visit the towns and have a weekend getaway.

Great family activity. The straight, flat, perfect pavement makes it the ideal place to take kids to walk, ride bikes or roller skate. If you want a more private experience, definitely consider what time you go because the walkway can become a busy place. Make sure you're prepared for the weather, everything is amplified - there's no shade from the sun and it can get very windy. The vibes up here are lovely 💜
