DURATION: 8 HOURS TOUR<br />

SEASON: FROM MAY TO SEPTEMBER<br />

We will drive to the mountain top and enjoy the fantastic<br />

view. From there, we circle the big salt lake. The walk is<br />

mostly downhill, although we can’t avoid climbing a few<br />

hills.<br />

After 2½-3 hours of hiking through spectacular landscape<br />

with good chances to spot musk oxen, we will find ourselves<br />

at Garnet Rock. Now is the time to bring out our hammers<br />

and chisels and start our hunt for the semi-precious stones,<br />

garnets. In between the hammering, we’ll take a break to<br />

enjoy our sandwich.<br />
