Difficult
hike,
but
the
amazing
views
and
the
opportunity
to
connect
with
the
guides
definitely
make
it
worth
it!
The
hike
is
divided
in
four
quarters
each
with
a
nice
view,
so
there
are
opportunities
to
turn
around
and
still
have
it
be
worth
it
even
if
you
don't
make
it
to
the
top.
We
did
make
it
to
the
top
and
got
to
experience
both
viewpoints,
which
were
breathtaking.
The
guides
do
one
hike
per
day
and
each
party
has
their
own
guide,
so
they
are
able
to
go
at
your
pace
and
make
sure
you
have
a
good
experience.
Guides
Whitney
and
Kai
were
both
amazing!!
They
had
great
information
for
us,
answered
all
our
questions,
and
were
just
fun
to
talk
to,
making
the
difficult
climb
very
pleasant.
I
would
definitely
recommend
wearing
shoes
with
a
good
tread,
as
you
will
be
walking
on
rocks
a
majority
of
the
time.
Also,
hiking
sticks
are
available
for
rent
at
the
beginning
of
the
hike
(5
USD
per
stick),
but
definitely
only
take
one
as
the
railings
along
the
hike
are
also
very
helpful
to
hang
onto.
The
climb
gets
more
challenging
as
you
go
up,
but
it
also
gets
cooler
and
shadier
as
you
go.
I
would
definitely
recommend
going
early
in
the
day.
The
local
ice
cream
at
the
end
of
the
trail
is
a
must!
We
tried
multiple
flavors,
including
soursop,
coconut,
lime,
chocolate,
and
mango,
and
they
were
all
delicious.
We
were
expecting
the
hike
to
be
tough,
but
enjoyable,
and
it
was
exactly
that.
And
if
you're
looking
for
relaxation
after
the
hike,
try
out
the
sulfur
springs
the
next
day.
Happy
hiking!
