The Rangers in the National Park station are very helpful and informative. They provide hikers with a sketch map of the trails and make the recommended alignment.

Hiking

It’s far easier to start here, at the Lower Falls and head up to the Upper Falls, cut across on the fire road and then a very long circle back over rocks, which require stamina and some effort. It would be a lot more strenuous doing this circular route starting from Skyline Drive or the Upper Falls.
