    Start of an alternative path to the top. Be careful, it is very steep and in places poorly paved. But in return you get a picturesque trail with a great view.

      Really steep! Watch your step carefully. Hiking poles are helpful.

        Easy is different. Be sure to bring hiking poles. Not recommended during or after rain, as it's slippery.
