A very enjoyable afternoon. Breathtaking views. There are a lot of stairs, but it is spread out so that you don't get that fatigued on the trail. We found it very doable.

Watkins gorge is a natural wonder you should not miss, if you are in the area (which, fortunately, we are, since we live in Watkins). It's a great hike, unless steps intimidate you. Beautiful at any time of the day--lots of stopping points with wonderful views. Once you make it to the top (final staircase is grueling) you can use... More

Great views of the gorge. There are a lot of steps if you want to see it all though. They do have a shuttle that will take you from the top to bottom.

It is truly one of natures wonderful creations and a treat to explore. The scenic walk was a workout and made us realize how greta Mother Nature is.

Even if you don't have a lot of time, this is a must see. It's amazing how the earth can shape with these waterfalls, and to be able to walk along side them is incredible! It's free and it doesn't take forever to do

The first day we went from the lower side via the gorge route to the upper side, and the next day, we came back and started at the top and went down the Indian Trail. Both were absolutely stunning. The gorge trail was... More

It was beautiful throughout. Gorge trail has beautiful sights of river streams, waterfalls and stone gorges. It takes about an hour to go up the trail and a little less if you were coming down. Kids older than 7 can will enjoy the walk, any younger may get tired due to large number of stairs
