The total amount should be divided by the number of people in the vehicle, including the driver. This is a guideline, not a rule, for drivers but the cost should not be higher unless there are extenuating circumstances.

Notes:
Will this event occur rain or shine? Yes, if the rain is too heavy to hike we will visit FDR's Little White House (admission cost: $7.00).

The White Candle Trail was opened December 9, 2006, and is the newest trail in FDR State Park. It passes by the Odie Overlook, which offers a stunning panoramic view which includes Dowdell's Knob, which can be seen at the end of the ridge to the West.
