    Rocky / fairly steep in a few areas and definitely kept my heart rate up. When the rains happen it will be pretty treacherous but also magical given all of the waterfalls. Highly recommend waterproof hiking boots for this hike along with layers as the micro climate can change on a dime. I kind of wish I had hiking polls for this one. Kent lake is pure magic.
