Jones Run Falls is relatively easy
to reach via the 1¾ mile trail from the Jones Run Parking area at milepost
84.1 of Skyline Drive. (Note: there is a $10/car toll to enter the Skyline
Drive but no other fees after you have entered.)
The
trail is very easy to follow and negotiate going downhill to the waterfalls.
Climbing back you have the very steep, two hundred yards or so just below
the parking area so be sure before you start.
An
interesting description of Jones Run can be viewed at Jones
Run Falls.
More
information about this and the other more frequented trails in Shenandoah
National Park is available in a $2 guide, Hikes to Waterfalls in Shenandoah National
Park, which can be purchased at any of the Park visitor's Centers, or
on-line at www.snpbooks.org.
This guide is third in a series published by the Shenandoah National Park
Association, a not-for-profit organization established in 1950 to
support the Park's interpretive and educational programs. We have found
their guides very useful.
