If you’re looking for an easy to access trail that’s off-the-beaten-path in Wyoming, the trek to Five Springs Falls is one you shouldn’t overlook. The trail is .4 miles out-and-back, which means it takes less than a quarter-mile of walking to find yourself at the base of a serene waterfall, surrounded by natural beauty.

Five Springs Falls can be reached from the quiet and secluded Five Springs Campground, located in the Bighorn Mountains of Lovell, Wyoming.

This region offers easy access to the Bighorn, Pryor, and Absaroka Ranges of the Rocky Mountains, making it a perfect place to pitch your tent if you're looking for some outdoor adventure.
Along the trail, you'll find panoramic views - although, sometimes, they'll be socked in by fog. This trail is also a great spot for wildlife spotting and wildflower viewing, in season.
