Fun hike that faces easy to difficult terrain. Footing can be slippery at points and trail narrow at times. Really crowded trail when we went! Standing in line to hike at times isn't my thing, but still a fun hike. It was not crowded on the way up because we hit it really early in the morning, but lots of... More

I did the hike in January, and it was amazing. Parts were pretty difficult so you may need trekking poles or crampons. The views from the top are stunning, but be sure to leave really early (before sunrise) as you'll be sharing the views with hundreds of your closest friends if you don't. More

Halla as one of the focal attractions) recent media attention created by its addition to the 'new 7 natural wonders... More

A nice panorama, 'enchanted forest' atmosphere, but very many people. Also be prepared for quite a bit of a walk. More
