February 14, 2021Snow was packed in walking area. Beautiful views but was bummed that the gorge trail was 1) closed for conditions and 2) didn’t allow dogs
November 14, 2020Indian trail, south rim, lover's lane were all closed which was very disappointing. We were able to walk to the lookouts but gates were up if you wanted to go further. Mask on or off, I really don't care. Most of the reviews getting annoyed at people for mask wearing or not is ridiculous. Get a life people, you're outside.
November 11, 2020November 7, 2020Not very scenic. We were a week or too late and the good trails were all closed.
November 6, 2020November 4, 2020November 1, 2020The Gorge trail was closed for the season but we took the Indian Trail and it was a very pleasant trail with some peakboo views of the gorge and the foliage was still very pretty but it might be gone in the next 2-4 days. The trail it self was easy with some inclines and some steps. We went early around 8am which was great because the park was basically empty and by the time we left around 10:30 the parking lot was full and it was becoming hard to keep social distancing in some parts of the trail. Most people were wearing masks but some didn’t seem to bother putting one on.
November 1, 2020Awesome place !
October 31, 2020Long the walk the better the trail
October 25, 2020gorge trail was closed due to covid
October 25, 2020Not much to see. Gorge Trail was closed but not a really great substitute.
October 18, 2020October 17, 2020Spectacular but massively crowded
October 16, 2020Main trail closed. But some pretty stuff
October 13, 2020October 9, 2020Very scenic. Unfortunately, over half the trail was closed, but I believe we got the better half. if you can I would highly recommend going on a weekday.
October 9, 2020October 6, 2020October 2, 2020September 26, 2020September 26, 2020From the upper parking gorge trail is closed. You have to take Indian trail and connect to gorge then loop around. Got here at 1 and there was a lot of people all throughout the trails. Beautiful scenery and landscape however too many people in my opinion. Some were complaint with distancing and face masks some ppl were not.
September 26, 2020September 26, 2020September 23, 2020September 21, 2020No views of gorge
September 19, 2020Beautiful views. Some uphill but not undoable. Walked to the waterfall and into the gorge. Great hike! Parked at upper entrance and walked down.
September 18, 2020Started at the Upper Entrance and walked down to main entrance. Mostly uphill on tbe way back.
September 15, 2020Easy in and out. Super scenic. Wore our 18 month old the whole time & brought the doggo.
September 8, 2020Great hike. Beautiful scenery. Waterfalls.
September 7, 2020Totally not worthy. You don’t get to see any of the 19 waterfalls. You can only see them on the main trail - Gorge Trail (which is not pet friendly). If you have your dog go to Buttermilk stare park instead.
