DESCRIPTION: Bring your lunch to picnic at the waterfall! This family-friendly hike will be moderately challenging. We will cross rocky streams, trek through lowlands, & hike some inclines. Expect elevation changes of approximately 600' from the Niles Cabin to the Shenandoah River & back, about 2.5 miles roundtrip.

ACCESSIBILITY: All of our hikes offer opportunities to shorten the distance and time. We can arrange to meet individuals or groups seeking a less challenging excursion. Please let us know if you have particular needs or interests, we will be happy to try to recommend & arrange variations.
