About This Trail

Descending through Shenandoah National Park forest from Skyline Drive, this 3.4-mile round-trip trail reaches the 42-foot Jones Run Falls sliding over a rock face. A stream crossing and 1,045 feet of elevation change reward hikers, with the option to extend via the Doyles River Loop past two additional waterfalls.
