The ascent is part of the reward: as the road climbs, the city, port and forest reveal themselves in stages. At the summit, look in different directions for Casco Viejo, the modern skyline and Pacific canal approach. It is a purposeful walk, so allow time to climb and descend within the reserve's daytime opening window.
