A magnificent hike with a spectacular view at the end! Some sections are a bit challenging. Hiking boots are essential, and it's important to stay on the marked trail, which is sometimes poorly marked.
It's really cool, but I'm giving it one star because there's no entry control and on weekends it's even dangerous because of the number of people there.
