Friendly tips: The route includes mountain sections with big temperature swings and many steps—wear a light jacket and non-slip shoes; bring your ID and stay with your guide, noting the meeting time and place. Traveler feedback — Clear streams and sheer cliffs impress; the shuttle is essential—weather greatly affects the view.
