I look up their web site. It is a steep price for a 1 mile hike. Adults are $13.00 and children 4 – 12 $10. plus 8% sales tax. For a two parent family with one child this is $38.88.
That is expensive for a family. We were just two and I don’t remember it being particularly spendy…we may have had a discount from our hotel or with pass we bought for area attractions, but I can’t recall. It is very nicely maintained…lots of wooden bridges and railings.
Such a beautiful place. Spent a lot of time hiking that region in all seasons.
It is 😀🍂🍁
Lovely waterfall 🙂
Thanks!
