Pro Tips: Go EARLY. I remembered (and it was in 2021 before all social media vitality), We went early but not that much maybe 8am we started the hike… and when we came back, people were parked so far that we asked a ranger and he told us they have to walk an extra 2km to reach the trail due to the restricted parking places!😅 Oh and the viewpoint you don’t wanna miss is called: Les portes du ciel (how poetic🧡).
Enjoy!📸
