Itinerary description

A lot of traffic noise all the way. There is a sign in the access to the Crater lake that says it is closed for security reasons, you can bypass it. Do not miss it, it’s the best of the trail.
I don’t think it’s worthy to continue up to the summit. There isn’t more lake views.
