Make sure you have rain gear and warm clothing with you.

Hiking

From 8 o'clock the park opens and whoever comes early does not have to wait for a free parking lot, especially as the weather there is usually stable in the morning hours. Can I fully confirm. Was 8:30 with 10 cars in the parking lot with sunshine and 11 degrees. From 10:30 it was good 300m snake, 15 degrees but the sky was closing. You can see both the crater lake with bright blue water and the lava fields. The air is tiring for flatlands like us at 3400meters.
