We’ve been here together and had a great experience. From the parking lot up to the third lake and back it took us around 13000 steps and the last section before the second lake is the most exhausting. But it is definitely worth it. Go here for a wonderful blue lake and unique experience. You have to book your entry window in advance if you do not want to take a special hike through the see woods
