Hiking
This hike is a must do on a sunny day. The trail involves rock climbing at many points, a rope is already installed for climbing. The risk of skidding is great during a downpour. The ascent is sometimes steep. The markings are made of pink ribbons, and make hiking easier. The loop from the park entrance to the summit is 6 hours.
