u/Direct_Address_2763

I am arriving in Ireland next week and first place we are staying is the Powerscourt Hotel. We are unfortunately only there for a night. I’m an early riser and didn’t know if it was possible to walk to the waterfall/ other areas of the estate before they open at 9:30am? Or are there other good areas to walk to nearby?

We also plan to do the Spinc hike and looks like white route is the most recommended. Due to time constraints we may have to do the blue instead and was wondering if the views were as good/ what sites we will be missing if we opt for the shorter trail.

Thanks!!!
