Maroon Route

Maroon Route

This picturesque and highly enjoyable route takes us along a pretty, dry riverbed and then up into the mountains to about 400m above sea level, from where we can marvel at the fabulous views across the surrounding mountains and valleys. In places it's a steep climb amongst the esparto grass-covered hills, but still only "moderate" difficulty.
