Planning tips
Book early in summer and school holidays. Wear layers, closed‑toe shoes and sunscreen; weather can switch quickly. Bring a small bag for water and a phone lanyard for photos. If you have back issues, request the most comfortable saddle fit ahead of time.
Getting there with Ryd
Allow roughly 45–60 minutes by road depending on the trek base. Using a Ryd lets you arrive on your schedule, linger for photos, and connect the ride with nearby viewpoints without tour timings.
