Hiking to South River Falls | 83 ft tall waterfall on a loop hike in Shenandoah National Park

Описание к видео Hiking to South River Falls | 83 ft tall waterfall on a loop hike in Shenandoah National Park

South River Falls is a moderate rated loop hike located in Shenandoah National Park. It starts from the South River Falls Picnic area located at mile 62.7 of Skyline Drive. The closest entrance is Swift Run to the south. The length of the hike depends who you ask and how you do the hike. In this video I do the hike as a loop, down South River Falls trail with the optional spur to the base of the falls, and returning back up the South River Fire Road. Let's call it 5 miles (8 km) anyway. Doing the hike as an in-and-out shortens it up, but the difference is negligible and I would argue the hike out on the fire road is easier anyway. There is an overlook to see the falls without going to the base, but in is overgrown and in my opinion too far away to be appreciated. I highly recommend continuing to the base of the falls if you are physically capable.

This is one of several hikes I did while in SNP so check out my channel for the others. There is a playlist of them.    • Bearfence Rock Scramble Loop | Short ...
