Hiking to a waterfall is a fabulous way to spend a summer day. If you’re lucky enough to have a waterfall in your own area then by all means just take a day trip there. It will feel like you’re on vacation even though you’re still in your own local area.
However, if you don’t have a waterfall in your area, then you might want to plan a trip around visiting one. Here are 5 amazing waterfalls that I’d love to visit and I think that you might as well:
1. Niagara Falls. This goes without saying, doesn’t it? Niagara Falls is an amazing place that rushes with stunning water. And it’s a destination in and of itself. Cross over to the Canadian side for a better vacation!
2. Alamere Falls. This is a small waterfall off the Pacific Coast just north of San Francisco. However, it’s an amazing waterfall worth seeing. That’s because it cascades right into the Pacific Ocean, one of only two waterfalls that do that. It’s really stunning to see a waterfall crashing into the ocean. The hike is fairly easy and you can always enjoy a San Francisco vacation along with this waterfall hike.
3. Lower Falls at Yellowstone River. This is a breathtaking scenic set of waterfalls that you absolutely must see at least once in your lifetime. It’s great as a travel destination since its part of Yellowstone State Park. Camp out to save some money or get a cheap hotel nearby.
4. Little Moss Glen Falls. This isn’t a stunning waterfall in terms of size. However, it’s located in a very beautiful scenic area of Vermont. The entire experience of hiking here is one worth having. Plus this is a budget travel location compared to some of the more popular waterfall destinations.
5. Seven Falls. This Colorado waterfall is lit up with colored lights during the evening. However, that’s not the only reason to go see it. A chance to see local wildlife, enjoy educational tours and hike on some great family-friendly trails are additional reasons.
