This hands down was one of the best experiences in my life. Along with climbing the high dune, at The Great Sand Dunes. The view makes the hike well worth the trouble. You can also take a "shuttle" to the top, but I never liked the easy way of doing things. It poored rain the whole time. The clouds engulfed me as I summited in fear of the coming storm, and the temperature dropped. It was completely worth every moment, and almost loosing the canon in the process. My pictures of the summit aren't the normal pictures taken of Panamas highest point. You can on a clear day see both the Pacific, and Atlantic oceans at the same time. Instead I got the most noir of adventure experiences, without the pay off of seeing either ocean. Instead I got these frames, and I couldn't be happier.
