  1. A hike that will take your breath away!! You must do it for the sunrise – it was such a magical moment. The hike itself isn’t that hard, but you gotta keep going until the end if you want to have the best view!

    FYI: In April, we began the hike at 3:30, and were able to catch the sunrise at its best time around 5:30.
