Morning fog clings to the ridges as a minivan winds up toward Bach Ma National Park, and within an hour the coastline gives way to mossed stone and dripping canopies. The day opens on the Five Lakes trail, a shaded 2-kilometer run of forest paths and stepping stones that threads through five terraced lakes where the water dares you to pause and swim.
