Be sure to follow the water trails for the lead to some very cool places. There is also a good chance you will see some donkeys along the way."

Reason #1 It has plenty of room to park, and other RVS are far enough away that you have privacy. #2 The sunrise and sunset are beautiful and peaceful. A great way to wake up and end your day. #3 The hikes, there are miles and miles of hills to roam. There are tons of quartz rocks to look at, and it's a good way to get out and work your legs. Lol is usually much needed after many miles on the road. You can see the bridge and river from here. The only thing that may be a drawback to some is the road noise. If you go back far enough down the gravel path to the back of the spots, you won't hear it."

About half of the way from the start is the gorge. This is a good place to relax, and take in the view."
