The colour of the trails tell you their difficulty levels. Similar to skiing and snowboarding, green is the easiest level, and then blue being the moderate, black being difficult. The majority of trails are blue. But don’t feel intimidated by the darker colours, you don’t have to be a professional with all the fancy hiking sticks and thick boots. An average 15 year old can hike up there, it just takes her a little time. Recently, they have even developed a gps enabled map, to tell you your exact location at any given time!
Here's a link to download it. It will make all your hikes easier with specific locations of trails, so you have nothing to fear. By the way, no wifi is required for this map to work. Click here to find out more!
These trail signs point you in the direction of where to go. The darker the colour, the more difficult it is.
Some etiquette is necessary for the enjoyment of everybody at the park! Just like in a classroom, respect always comes first. Make sure to respect plants, wildlife, other people and private property. If you do decide to picnic, do put all garbage away. There are garbage cans. Horseback riders sometimes pay a visit, so watch out for them and don’t startle their horses. If you’re bringing a dog to the mountain (not allowed on the beach at any time), keep them in control. You don’t always need a leash, as long as your dog won’t run off or do something crazy. Pick up after them as well.
Cyclists out there, don’t bike on narrow trails where roots grow out of the ground and the path is so narrow you most definitely will bump into someone. Do bike on paved roads please!
And take nothing with you, but beautiful pictures and a lovely memory.
Oh, just kidding. We actually invite you to go to the mountain with our volunteer program to take all these Scotch Brooms out. They are incredibly invasive and threatening to the habitat. They're noticeable by their bright yellow flowers and prickly leaves, like the one in the picture on the right.
