Hiking
Quick hike, with a choice between an 'easy' and 'hard' route. Can't beat the blue waters at the top.
I always recommend going up the hard route, and descending the easy route.

Just like Lady Mac, I can say that I hiked it. Apparently a lot of trail work has been done on this hike, but I have never been brave enough to go back up. I can say this, the views are unbeatable.
