    Stiles Falls is one of the coolest waterfalls in @southwest.virginia, and you may have never heard of it! 

Located at Alta Mons in Shawsville, just a short drive from Blacksburg and Christiansburg, bring your hiking shoes and get ready to explore! The 40-foot waterfall awaits at the end of a mile and a half hike with creek-crossings and rock scrambles along the way. The colorful foliage really adds to the experience this time of year.

Close to home. Far from ordinary. Make it a day-trip or stay for the weekend!
