We used Maps.me and had to refer to it a number of times to get us more or less back on the route. We didn't have time to do the hike on the right side of the canyon but I think it was probably better marked, they at least had it sign posted after you crossed the bridge. I also think that is probably the better of the two hikes along the top. We didn't find the route slippery and we found it to be moderate but we do a ton of hiking so our moderate and other people's moderate might mean two different things. We suggest that if you are going to hike down through the canyon itself, that you need to have good wate rshoes or shoes that you don't mind getting wet because your feet will get wet and you can't avoid it, at least you couldn't when we did the hike.<br /><br />I hope that you make it there, we loved it and the scenery there is beautiful. The water in the river itself is cold but the in the baths, it is lukewarm, not hot just to warn you. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-67496662153847944622021-06-14T18:50:21.532-04:002021-06-14T18:50:21.532-04:00We hope to visit the canyon in July.

We look forward to coming back here with our motorhome. :-)<br /><br />We are pretty happy here in Albania, we are definitely loving the mountain scenery. We think it would be pretty easy to live here.

There is also another hiking trail at the top of the canyon on the opposite side from where we were as well, so there would be lots to keep us busy. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-41116908349721317522021-05-06T01:27:11.810-04:002021-05-06T01:27:11.810-04:00We are so glad that you enjoyed this post.
