Tips

If you have extra time, consider adding a day to explore the nearby Hidden Valley Trail for deeper immersion in nature, or extend your stay at the hot springs for a full wellness retreat. To shorten the trip, you can combine the mountain pass and waterfall visits into a single half‑day excursion and skip the lakeside kayaking, focusing on the main cultural highlights instead.
