Christian AlvarezApril 5, 2018This place is absolutely stunning. The views is just amazing. I’d recommend coming earlier if you wish to do some hiking as the park closes at 6 PM.

Brian SixbeyJuly 11, 2013Bring good shoes. The hike isn't long, but it makes up in length for climbing ladders on the side of the mountain. Coming back is worse than climbing up.UpvoteDownvote
