Everything stood out for us. The directions to get there were very easy. The view was exactly what we thought it would be and the sunrise was out of this world. Beautiful memories in a beautiful place Had to use the bear blow horn one time…they were everywhere and the horn really works. We had to be aware they were there. Beautiful animals indeed
