is free for your enjoyment, there
are no admission charges nor are
there parking fees.
The North fails is the first one
to visit going to the park from
Salem, and you may start your hike
here. About 15 minutes on the trip
will bring you to the Winter creek
trail and the Winter falls, and you
may return to the highway if only
a short hige is desired. It is a
good plan, if you are planning to
visit all of the falls to have some­
one take your car to the recreation
area and save the walk hack. Next
is the Lower North falls and from
thre a short side trail leads you
to Double falls. Then there is
Drake falls and Lower South falls,
and maybe more.
So you can see you won’t lack
spots of interest. Perhaps an extra
roll of film would come in handy.
But if I tell you any more things
to take along you’ll think you need
a suitcase, so will just say, make
the trip and see for yourself. You
will agree that it is one of the most
beautiful bits of country you’ve
ever seen.
