    Small and large rock gate.
    A very strenuous hike due to the steep climb.
    But the magnificent views at the two rock gates make up for all the effort....👍
    Would do the hike again anytime.

      Fantastic views from this extraordinary location. The final section of the climb over scree is very strenuous, but worth it.
