Northwest Wyoming Lakes, River & Falls

Since most of Yellowstone's 350 miles of roads are closed to cars from November through April, getting into the park, be it to Old Faithful, Norris Geyser Basin or Yellowstone Lake, is a bit more of an adventure come winter. The park itself isn't closed of course – there are still entrance fees and lodges, hotels, restaurants, bars and gift shops are open – it's just that the only ways to get inside are by ski, snowshoe, snowcoach or snowmobile.

Shell Falls on Shell Creek
Fred Pflughoft

Five Springs Falls
Five Springs Falls Recreation Site, along Hwy 14A about 25 miles east of Lovell, provides unique vertical cliff habitat that is kept moist by the spray from a 100 foot waterfall. The granite walls surrounding the falls provide a home for four rare and sensitive plant species. View the waterfall by walking a quarter-mile trail upstream from the BLM campground. The campground offers a pleasant setting for a picnic while viewing the falls.

Shell Falls
Shell Creek tumbles down steeply pitched granite and then is soothed and gentled downstream into a quietly running creek. An interpretive center for visitors is located at the Shell Falls Overlook. Adequate parking facilities make it easy to safely pull off the mountain highway.
