Shelving Rock Falls Hike

Shelving Rock Falls Hike

Shelving Rock Falls hike is a rather quick hike that is very popular. Expect to see lots of people in here during the weekends on Spring and Summer. The waterfall was very fast and flowing when I came here in May. It maybe dry or have very little water during Summer to Fall. So if you want to see a good and powerful waterfall then come here during Spring.

Start Of The Hike

I planned to hike 3 popular hikes today and this was the second one. The sun was still high in the sky and the trail was short but I have to hike another one after this so I didn’t take my time but quickened my pace instead. My hiking friends and I, spend too much time on waterfalls and viewpoints. There was just passion in our hearts and joy in our souls that a simple hike like this could take hours just because we take too many pictures.
