We were initially going to visit here two years ago, but I was turned off by the $20 parking fee for out of state vehicles. It's four times more than what Massachusetts residents pay, and if you ask me, it's a terrible way to promote tourism. I happened to notice that the parking fee isn't charged until May 9th, and since it was May 7th, it seemed like a good time to finally visit this place. Of course, this meant amenities, like restrooms, weren't open yet. The park itself is 100 acres, and features a visitor center on one side of the street, while the main chasm is on the other. There are a number of different trails that provide views of the chasm, one on each side, and one that goes right through the center. The center trail is very rocky with a lot of climbing, and at this stage in Mandy and Lexi's life, they really weren't up for that. So we initially took the trail on the right side of the chasm. Once we reached the other end we were able to make our way to the center of the chasm, which was much easier than climbing down the rocks would have been. It was here that we saw the baby foxes! After taking a break to watch the foxes for a bit, we took some photos in the middle of the chasm, before using the trail on the other side to get back. Don't get me wrong, this is a neat place. The rock formations are cool to explore for sure, but to me this is not worth $20. I'm glad we finally got the chance to check it out without having to overpay for the experience.
