Since the nearest parking to the Grotto was unavailable and completely booked for the upcoming 3 weeks, we figured it would be fun to do the 2 hour hike to the Grotto from here.
Upon arrival, we were told the parking was full and that it was better to come back 2-3 hours later. We turned around, drove for about 10 minutes and then came back to give our phone number to the employee so he could call us if any spots opened up. He immediately told us that it was OK for us to enter, since we were from Quebec and we drove about 9 hours to get to this place. Thank you to Jeff, the employee at the front desk for answering all of our questions, being very friendly and extremely helpful by letting us in!!!!
The hike was totally worth it, the views are breathtaking, although you cannot enter the Grotto due to COVID. It was very relaxing, the water is at a lovely temperature as well, it is possible to swim on a sunnier day (just be careful because the rocks are slippery).
There are bathrooms at the beginning of the trail.
Bring your food with you, as well as water bottles since it's impossible to fill them up onsite. read more
