I’ll show you my exact timeline of how my 2 hours went from the time walking off the cruise ship to returning back. This includes how to find the shuttle stop and what my trip to the waterfalls was like, including a quick walk around the Gold Rush Cemetery where you can learn about Soapy Smith and the Gold Rush days.
