Tips for a Great Hike
🥾 Carry water and wear proper footwear.
🥾 Most people stop at the first overlook which is spectacular. The second overlook provides a different perspective of the Upheaval Dome and is well worth your time.
🥾 There are a few areas that are unclear on the way to the second overlook. Pay close attention to the rock cairns.
