What a beautiful day it was! It almost felt like an early summer and
hiking in a T-shirt was just comfortable. I started late arriving at
the trailhead/Camp Sheppard at 2:30pm and returned to my car by 4:30pm.
This is an easy hike and the waterfalls are stunning. I also recommend to combine to hike Moss Lake loop trail which is located in the basin of the trailhead. As the name says, Moss Lake loop trail offers mossy forest in a short distance. You can combine this hike either at the beginning or the end of Snoquera Falls hike.
Follow the signs of Snoquera Falls to the falls. There are several blow downs along the trail, but they are all passable. The trail climbs gradual and consistent, so it gets your heart rate going.
At the waterfalls, there is a side trail going up to the bottom of the falls. It's steep, but a short hike up for a closer view of the waterfalls. To get to the side trail, you have to cross the falls rapid creek, but it is not deep....however, boots are highly recommended, or your feet will likely get wet.
Take in the spectacular view of Snoquera Falls. It's a perfect short hike with a little effort and determination. Families with kids would also enjoy this hike. The trailhead is conveniently located at Camp Sheppard right by HWY 410.
