Coyote Falls
!
The little-known Coyote Falls surprises first-time visitors who aren’t expecting such a pretty waterfall that isn’t covered with people like its nearby friend Silver Run Falls. If you can’t find a parking space at Silver Run, drive 30 seconds farther down the road and you’ll likely have this one to yourself.

Hiking Directions
Quick Glance
Follow the obvious path from the pullout to the falls.
Detailed Look
Take the obvious path from the pullout. After a little over 0.1 miles you’ll come to a fork. The best route is to the right. Right before reaching the falls you must climb down a short but steep section of roots and rock. Once you reach the falls, you must scramble out on the boulders for the best view.
