Wayfaring Wanderer: The 3 Easiest Waterfall Hikes in Shenandoah National Park

A place I have yet to visit…So go and see it through someone else’s eyes…

View of Old Rag Mountain From Skyline Drive

There is nothing that I like more than to see the awe-inspiring beauty of a flowing cascade. What can some times make that desire difficult to achieve is the time and effort it can take to get there. Since there are no waterfalls that are visible from Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park, to see one you must be prepared to take a hike. Cody and I were looking to maximize our time, and at the same time minimize exhaustion, so we set our sights on some of the shorter and less difficult treks. Of the nine waterfalls in SNP, though none are easy, there are a few you might find more manageable, but every bit as beautiful.

  1. DARK HOLLOW FALLS
  2. LEWIS FALLS
  3. DOYLES RIVER FALLS

Follow the link for some gorgeous photos and directions on how to find the falls. I know I’ll be bookmarking the page to save for my trip to Shenandoah…While you are at Wayfaring Wanderer be sure and check out more of her posts…The photos will have you looking for your car keys…
