It is haunting in its beauty.

One of the hottest areas on Earth, still snow on top! :)

It's way more beautiful when you go there during cool season. In hot season, you want to get away as fast as you can.

Yep even in cool you really get a sense of how dangerous an area it is. A few bad choices during a summer visit could really hurt you
