Best Light

Sunrise or the hour before sunset for side light on the ridge.

Where I Slept

Camped in the woods on the Seceda ridge - technically inside Puez-Odle Nature Park, where wild camping isn't officially permitted. At your own risk.

Tyler's Notes

The ridge trail is well-marked and easy to follow once you're up top - just stay on the main path.
