    Fairy Falls

    Continue walking. We’re getting pretty close to the overlook. But that’s not actually where this trail ends. If you want to continue beyond the overlook, this trail also leads to a majestic waterfall. Hiking all the way to Fairy Falls will add another four miles to your trip, and it takes about two hours to get there and back. The hike itself is moderately easy, though a lot of it is uphill. Note: The tour is over 1.6 miles long, with more than 10+ audio stories, and takes about 1-2 hours to complete. New, Lifetime access, no expiry. Use it anytime, on any trip, as many times as you want.
