	Approaching the east end of the gorge on foot.
	The traveler's lodge was renovated and then apparently abandoned.
	The main trail was well-maintained, and included some suspension bridges over the stream.
	The walls look like they'd provide some challenging climbing.
	Of course, climbing is a dangerous sport...
	It was tough to get good photos of the walls, which were in shadow.
	Smaranda on another suspension bridge.
	In places the trail was carved into the cliff.
	Another view of this bend in the trail.
	The river Hășdate.
