Shepperd’s Dell

A nice hidden gem that’s easy to miss! If you’re driving down the scenic highway looking for good scenery and photo ops, don’t miss Shepperd’s Dell!
You’ll see a sign for it as you cross a bridge. There’s a place to pull over to the side and park shortly after you pass the sign. Walk back to the bridge and head down the stairs.
There’s lush greenery, a nice view of the bridge and a waterfall at the end of a very short trail. Individually, none of these are the most impressive but coming here feels like you escaped the crowd and stumbled upon a secret area. That experience makes it worth stopping and seeing. Hopefully you’re lucky enough to hog all of this to yourself and soak it all in when you visit.

Quick & easy less than 5 min walk in a paved path. Stairs are involved. Totally worth it for such a small effort to see it. There is less parking here than other areas but probably because no need to stay for long.
