Everyone in Wyoming seems to have a favorite waterfall. For many, it’s hard to top the landmark Lower Falls of the Yellowstone, and for others, the easily accessible Bridle Veil Falls in Casper is the perfect spot for a scenic picnic. If you’re looking for a beautiful waterfall and canyon landscape that’s easy to get to no matter what the weather may be, plan a trip to see Shell Falls in Bighorn National Forest.

If you ever find yourself traveling the Bighorn Scenic Byway, you'll be amazed at some of the most gorgeous windshield views in Wyoming. Keep an eye out for roadside turnouts and you'll find a true hidden wonder - Shell Falls.
