Description

Starting at the top of the gorge you make your way down the old guest River Gorge rail line. It's 5.8 miles to the bottom with several waterfalls along the way and beautiful views of the guest river.

Just remember it's all uphill on the way back and take that into consideration when deciding how far down you want to go.
