No alcohol leaves the park.
We do the trip many ways, according to our mood. We walk all the way around BW and take the path from there, we walk to the YC/BC boat stop and take the boat from there, we walk around YC/BC and over to the BW walkway. We have never taken the boat from IG completely to HS, I think it's just never been there when we were leaving and we've timed it and in most cases, walking gets us there faster.
