    Hiking

    This location is undeniably stunning, providing breathtaking views of Spirit Lake. However, it's of utmost importance to exercise extreme caution, as accessing this point can be dangerous. The trail involves hiking a narrow staircase with exposed switchbacks and a boulder slope, demanding appropriate footwear and careful footing to reach safely. Before reaching the staircase, there are also some nice views, and you can opt to turn around from that point if you don't feel confident about hiking further.
