Many of Wyoming’s most famous waterfalls are hard to get to. They involve long hikes, lots of stairs, or even worse, park entrance fees! You won’t have to sit in bison jams or shuffle down a hundred steps to see one of the state’s prettiest cascades, though, and chances are, you won’t even have to fight through a crowd! Visit Shell Falls in Bighorn National Forest for a real treat.
