Day 1:

We hung out at the Air BnB the first night and relaxed at the pool.

We got up early and packed lunches for the day. This park gets so insanely crowded. If you want to park anywhere near the trailheads and not be hiking popular trails in a line of people, you’re going to have to get up early.
