I first planned to go across the Northern rim of the island. I had accommodations booked, a car rented, and flight tickets tucked away. Then I was fortunate enough to speak with some friends who are professional photographers and they urged me to reconsider and go along the Southern rim instead. I will forever be grateful to them for that advice! We were waking up at 3 am for sunrises and hiking in the rain and we didn’t mind at all.. because it was all worth it!
