Designed with care, the path features a smooth, hard surface that’s stable, secure, and well-maintained, making it a comfortable choice for everyone, from seasoned walkers to those with limited mobility. The trail winds through a peaceful forest of black pine, juniper, and ancient trees, filling the air with the fresh scent of pine.
