После 7 утра уже не так красиво. Я посещал это место в 9 утра. Маршрут составил 3,2 км , заняло временя 75 минут. Как фотографу - маршрут скучен, если нет облаков , в 9 уже высокое солнце и я не рекомендую идти + дымка в небе.

Прогулка по этой туристической тропе была захватывающей. После довольно сложного подьема как вознаграждение завараживающие виды и свежий ветер. Восхитительно. Обязательно стоит пройти . PS обязательно удобная обувь
