The Upper Falls were magical, and it was a very short walk. A few stairs are involved. Very quiet and peaceful this time of the year. Full review by kerma64

They are next to each other and you can only view the lower falls from the road so it is quick. The upper falls you can park and take catwalk down to the falls and view as long as you want and they also have a gift shop and information center there. So time is up to you but figures an hour there. The road past the falls to Island Park is also a nice drive.

A:
The visitor Centre is only a short walk from the falls, which can be accessed down a wooden stepped walkway. It only takes a couple of minutes. However, there is a charge for parking your car here. If you see my review of the falls the picture was taken from the wooden walkway. The drop from the centre to the falls is only about 50 feet. If you want to get to the lower falls, this is a much longer walk from the separate car park, down a long slope sup pounded by trees. You can see the falls in the distance though.
