Have you ever wanted to see a beautiful waterfall, but the lines and crowds in our busy national parks discouraged you? If you’re up for a long and brutal hike, you can discover one of the most hidden cascades in the whole state. Not too many people have made this difficult, but rewarding, hike!

Way out in Bighorn National Forest there’s a waterfall deep in the woods that’s one of the most hidden in all of Wyoming.
