As you move closer to Gui campsite, the mountain views become more prominent as you gain altitude. The trail is mostly through the forested area that becomes denser as you trek towards Gui. It is mostly Maple and Oak trees and occasionally Rhododendrons, that are vibrant and bloom during the spring. During the winters, the trails and trees are almost covered with snow.
