The Sphinx Hike Popular
A moderate walk from Monks Cowl of 2.4 km and elevation of 312 m to the Sphinx passing Crystal falls on the way. The views are lovely once reaching the Sphinx.
Along the way you walk past Crystal Falls, which is a beautiful waterfall inside of one of the many forests that you will need to walk through. This is a good place to collect more water for the remainer of the hike up to the Sphinx.
When standing on top of the sphinx, you have magnificent 360-degree views of the region. View the video below of the 360-degree views.

Lovely hike that will give you great views. Together with my family walked 1.5 hours up and 45 minutes down with picknick on the Sphinx.
