Itinerary description

Very tricky in the beginning with lots of climbing and skirting huge rocks and boulders. The place has rightfully deserved the name 'Devil's Gap'. After that more than 15 km of comfortable hike with frequent crossing through the water. There is dead end with lake ahead and steep cliffs on either side. Worth visiting and camping because of abundance of clear water and nice sites to put up a tent.
