(Route 3234) you will go up blueberry hill, through the S curve, pass Dry Fork Road on the left, go up the second hill and make a left onto Branstetter Road. Go down Branstetter Road until you can no longer go straight and you will see the gate to the Gorge entrance right in front of you, follow the rock driveway up the hill and past the barn to the parking lot.
