The Hike is expected to be an intense hike. It's described by people who
hike regularly as "moderately difficult", 3 hour, 7.7km hike with a rise of
470m. It is recommended for hikes of this length and intensity to have at
least a liter of water with you, so please be sure you're prepared. This
hike will also require hiking shoes.
If you are not an avid and consistent hiker, you may want to consider the
bus tour through the gorge instead. The bus tour groups will still get free
play-time at Rooster Rock State Park, where there is potential for swimming
and playing and frisbee and other "bright yellow burning thing in the sky"
activities.
Please note, this is not a hike I would personally attempt in the given
time-frame. I would personally label this hike as "difficult" and eye the
people labeling it as "moderately difficult" askance.
I earnestly don't think people have been warned about this enough. :)
