A very long hike with numerous rock scrambles. Few spots where you was walking on the edges of a deep cliff side. We probably did about 25000 steps but the views was tremendous though boiling lake was extremely dry and low. If you are ready to do a some rock climbing and to getting yourself a little muddy, this for you! Good luck

We were a group of four; two had done this hike many times and two virgins.
We arrived at the lake at 10:42 = about three hours to hike one way.
Assuming 1/2 hour for “lunch”, the return must have taken 3 1/2 hours.
Some of the “slowness” was to allow Coco to cut better steps. And I had a good 15 minutes in the hot water pool.
And I guess I’m getting old as it never used to take this long. In case you were wondering “old” is an understatement. I am 72.
