Overall Run

Upper Falls

The upper falls cascades 29 feet down a beautiful rockface. There is a wonderful flat spot adjacent to the top of the falls where we enjoyed a picnic lunch.

View from Upper Falls

On the flat spot adjacent to the upper falls, you can look across the Shenandoah Valley towards Massanutten Mountain. In the valley between, runs the Shenandoah River.



Lower Falls

It is difficult to get a full view of the 93 foot lower falls. The trail doesn't get too close to the falls, and bushwacking in this area is both treacherous and destructive. Getting under the falls looked like a significant challenge.



View from Lower Falls

From the lower falls, if you turn and look to your right, you again see across the Shenandoah Valley towards Massanutten valley. From this point down, the trail becomes very steep and tiring. We returned to the Mathews Arm Campground area where we were parked.
