Making the most of your Waterfall Trolley day

Want to fit in as many waterfalls as possible? These suggested plans use the Waterfall Trolley in both directions to help reduce wait times. Instead of always waiting for the next trolley continuing the same direction, you may board the next available trolley traveling the opposite direction. This can help you visit more waterfalls, add short hikes, and make the most of your day in the Gorge.
