Itinerary description

A sensational hike that winds up to the top of My Buffalo, offering interesting flora and fauna, creek crossings, spectacular mountain views and more along the way. The start is very steep but the worst part is over after the first couple of kms.
Tread carefully on slippery rocky paths, especially those traversing open cliff edges and the climb downward.
I recommend sturdy boots and plenty of water and snacks. Allow plenty of time to stop and enjoy the natural surroundings.
