  • When google releases a much better zoom in this area, then it may be properly tagged.
  • I have heard about it and had some file shots of this legendary place, hope to visit it in lifetime; hope it will be always preserved, protected, as it is a nationally recognized park, which is habitat for species not found elsewhere. Credits goes to A.chiks for their love for nature, so well preserved for years.
