About this experience

It has the Iyake Hanging Lake (also known as Ado Awaye Suspended Lake), and the Ishage Rock (a mysterious hanging boulder). It also has large ancient footprints (believed by locals to be footprints of their Ancestors), the Elephant Tree (a tree trunk that has taken the form of an Elephant), and other wonders.
Ado Awaye is one of only two hanging lakes in the world. Discover first-hand what a hanging lake looks like. With at least six hundred steps to the summit, Ado Awaye mountains is a pretty good place to get the legs busy.
