Itinerary description

This approach to the Park may be the most beautiful, and it avoids the crowds at the main entrance on the east side. It's an easy downhill walk to the lake on a wide, even trail. Shortly before you reach the lake, you'll see a series of cascades called Asteleen Waterfall on the north side of the valley. There's a small car park at the trailhead, but that was full when we arrived, so we parked at another larger car park down the road about a half mile west.

    Buena forma de evitar la multitud y visitar el castillo si se prolonga la ruta un poco más. Precioso paisaje.

    A good way to avoid Crow in national park and visiting the castle. We had to extend the way to reach It.
