By far the most beautiful stage of this route. The rocky path is a true experience. Incredibly beautiful. Tip: hike this stage very early in the morning when you're still alone. The peace and quiet and the very calm, dark-green water are almost meditative. It's not easy to put this place into words. Be sure to allow plenty of time.
