	+ ------ + ''2006-01-28 18:57:56'' [[nbsp]] Hiking along the East side of the gorge offers an escape from the more 'touristy' West side of the park. A good loop hike is to start at the lower falls from the West bank, cross the river at the stone bridge, hike up along the East bank to the railroad tressle (see above), cross the bridge, and back down the West bank. It affords views of the lower, middle, and upper falls that the average park goer does not see. Again, crossing the railroad bridge is at your own risk. --["MikeThomas"]
