About this trail
Follows an old pylon track up to a ridge overlooking the wadi. Steeply undulating route with a good workout. Not well marked — useful to follow a GPS track.
Lots of big boulders and nicely shaded if done in early morning. Experienced local hikers' favourite for a midweek workout close to the city.
