Along the trails, hikers will be greeted by different kind of plant some are native to the area while others have been planted there by the developers for added attraction. The trail hikes vary from easy navigation to tedious climbs that will require great energy, hard work and determination.
But no matter how difficult the climb may be, the view at the peak will relive you of all the stress and pain.
