Not used much anymore, but beautiful track and forrest with amazing views.
Pretty well marked, but do bring your GPS (or phone with tracking).

Once at the top, going back down (assuming you went up the right side), it's not very well marked how to get down, just look on your phone/gps where you need to be and head down, after about 5-10mins walking down you'll see stop pile markers, and ribbon, then there will be an entrance into the forest. From there it's fairly well marked.

And once you get to the old road (used to make the hydro tunnel), it's easy walking back.
