    Hiking

    The Big A can be found at the beginning or end of the Dragon Gorge, depending on where you enter the gorge.

    Hiking

    The "A" in the 10-meter-high rock face stands for "Annatal," the cartographic name of the Dragon Gorge valley, at one of the narrowest points to be traversed.
