Beautiful hike and boat ride
If you are looking for a combination boat ride and moderate hike to spectacular vista, this is it. About 4 mile hike total and not significant elevation gain unlike some of the other hikes in the area. Bring walking sticks for coming down to make it easier but they are not necessary. We are a couple in our 60s and this was perfect for us.
