Time: 7-8 hours Cost: ~$30 per person for the shuttle or just drop your party off and only send one person on the shuttle to save money Skill: You don't need to be particularly skilled in any way just be able to walk the whole day and go up and down a steep elevation. What to Bring:  The peak elevation of this hike is very windy and cold even in the middle of summer so pack some warm clothes -Multiple bottles of water -Snack and possibly lunch -Some toilet paper (the portapotties along the way don't always have it) -Hat -Light jacket -Hiking boots The Hike: Please note this is a one-way hike, not a loop.

If it is a weekend , you will need to park at Christie Lake Conservation area and take a shuttle to the park. This only applies from April 19th to October 27th.

Within the first 5 minutes of walking, you can find Tew's Falls on your right side. The rest of the hike leads to a beautiful overlook and loops back around. We went in the middle of August and there was virtually no one there. If you would like to see Webster's Falls, take the trail in the parking lot that goes to the right. It's just a trail with no signage and will lead to Webster's Falls. You can
