You just need strong legs and lungs to hike the trails, but only experienced climbers with permits can attempt to scale the mountains. The park ranger told me that a Japanese guy had gone missing in this valley 20 days ago and was presumed dead although they hadn't found a body. He was hiking alone and must've strayed from the trail and fallen.
The weather here is unpredictable and can change dramatically in a matter of minutes. The only means of rescue are on horseback or by boat - high winds prevent the use of helicopters.
