The Bridal trail is easier, but through the woods and no good views. Trail markers: Yes Trail maps: At the site. Directions: Take the shuttle boat and the captain will drop you off and give you directions to the trail heads. Additional comments: Please don't bring children or pets on the Indian trail, it can be very dangerous. There are plenty of places to stay, and eat nearby.
