The bar and in winter with a fireplace offer a cozy round-up of a great and adventurous day.
In the early morning hours, when the desert seems to wake up and stretch, the sun giving its first tender light, it is the ideal time to go for an easy walk. Well marked walking trails lead up the granite hill, around the mountain or to the nearby bird hide. This is the best time for the keen photographer!
