Is Lewis Falls Worth It? | Blue Ridge Wanderlust Ep. 07

Join us as we embark on a journey to explore the Shenandoah Valley and Blue Ridge Mountains! On this episode we continue our hike from Tanners Ridge Road to Lewis Falls to see an 81ft waterfall!

Lewis Falls is one of the most picturesque and accessible waterfalls in Shenandoah National Park, located along the park's Skyline Drive. The waterfall is a stunning 81-foot cascade that flows down a series of rocky ledges, creating a serene and visually striking scene, especially after rainfall or during the spring melt. The falls can be reached by hiking the Lewis Falls Trail, a moderately challenging 1.3-mile loop that takes visitors through a beautiful forested landscape of hardwoods and conifers. Along the trail, hikers are treated to not only the breathtaking waterfall but also scenic views of the surrounding valleys and distant mountain ridges. The sound of the rushing water and the natural beauty of the area make Lewis Falls a popular destination for photographers, nature lovers, and those seeking a peaceful escape in the wilderness. The trail also offers opportunities for wildlife sightings, such as deer, wild turkeys, and various bird species, making it a rewarding hike for those looking to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Shenandoah National Park.
