Pico Rodadero — Attraction in Yauco

Unfortunately I never made it to the trail because the roads to get to the trailhead were THAT bad. I’ve never been so terrified while driving in my life. Thankfully I was able to turn around without rolling off the mountain and briefly considered parking down the road from the trailhead and simply walking up to it but there were at least 5 dogs all barking at me alongside the road I would have to walk on, and having not had the best experiences with Puerto Rican dogs so far, I wasn’t willing to risk getting bitten by a dog thinking it needs to protect its territory from me.
