Itinerary description
|
This is a hike that can be done by going only to Lower Falls, or Upper Falls and for the bravest to Ink Pots.
It is very, very popular so unless you like to park for miles and want to find the joys of metro rush hour, you must arrive before 9:00. But, you've understood, the farther we go and the less we see people because many stop at the Lower Falls.
The trail is paved and in perfect condition almost everywhere. It is often narrow especially when crossing the footbridges, where again, the interest of this hike when there are few people.
To get to the first waterfall (Lower Falls), it takes only 30 minutes.
Between this first waterfall and the second (Upper Falls), it takes another 30 minutes.
The trail then continues to Ink Pots but we stopped at Upper Falls because it would have taken too much time.
Conclusion: It's original but nothing very sensational for this small walk very busy because I think of its ease.
