Daimari - Conchi Natural Pool
First to review
Heard there are rattlesnakes in Arikok, but didn’t see any. We dragged some sticks along with us to make some noise. Trail can be a little obscured at parts so it was helpful to have the map pulled up. Fun hike, good views but nothing super panoramic. Recommend going up to the water tank at the beginning of the trail for a great Vista.
