Trail description

La description entière doit être corrigée car elle mélange les deux destinations. Le contenu parle de Mount Griesbach comme destination principale, mais les chiffres (6.4 km, 2,743 m, 3h45) ne correspondent à aucune source web vérifiée. Les sources web confirment uniquement Griesbach Lakes Walk (4.5 km, 82 m gain, 1-1.5 hr). Rewrite complet nécessaire.
