Have patience

It is $5 for each vehicle with one-five occupancy. Each person after that is charged $1. If you are going in a group, it might not be unusual for the driver to wait for a parking spot while the passengers embark on their feet. Not fair, I know... but what is fair in life?

When you get to the spot where you start your hike, you will definitely have to wait for a parking spot. It was one of those days we got lucky. We had to wait only ten minutes...

What to expect?

Basically it is a walk along the creek through trees and bushed and some open spots but always high towering rocky cliffs on both sides.

It probably is not a good idea to be caught in the rain. There is a reason people like to hike here in October. That is when they can best see the season changing--the leaves a mixture of green and yellow.
