We took the Boreal bus tour that takes you directly to the trail base ant takes about 50 minutes each way. The trail is well maintained and offers beautiful views of the mountains and Fjiords around the area. It took us about 4 hours to hike round trip with some breaks in between but not a lot of extra time for a picnic or longer breaks. It gets a little crowded on the top and there is a huge line for the iconic top of the rock photo, but it was very organized . Cannot recommend it enough!
