Description
This is a long hike through the rocky mountains. There are many trees. Please note that there is a lot of donkey poop on the ground. The hike is usually done as and out-and-back, and hikers can finish by stopping off at the restaurant close to the end. Pay attention to the major turns as this road is open to vehicles. It is not recommended to go off the path as you can hurt yourself. Make sure to take your time to stop and enjoy the many viewpoints along the way, including the view of Dragon's Eye at the end. The way out is a steady downhill all the way to the end, and uphill on the way back so be sure to save enough energy for the return journey.
