Unfortunately, despite this being only September, the restrooms and other facilities were closed. As a result, we didn’t stay long. Full review by ew25

Park up and have a short walk to Shell Falls. There are different viewing platforms to get a birds eye view of the falls. A gushing tumbling waterfall awaits. Most of the paths are wheel chair friend… Full review by BarryandNicolaG

Shell Falls is CLOSED. All of the interpretive signs have been removed. The gates are closed so that you cannot even get in the parking lot. However, access to the falls is safe and the walkways … Full review by annpL7213KB
About how many steps are there going down to the falls observation level?
A:
There are three different viewing areas. One is rather steep and has 30 or so stairs. The others are a longer walk, but fewer stairs. However, you can still see the falls without going …

Wayne: Search the Web for rainfall in any area you wish to visit. I was there in early June 2018, thus snow melt from higher elevations. Western Wyoming is much drier in late September, thus less water feeding streams. The Falls will be less spectacular, but there's a bonus: You'll encounter fewer tourists possibly having the entire area to yourself. At any attraction worldwide, when the area is most attractive, it attracts more visitors. Perhaps that's why Canadians visit Florida in winter☺
Hi, Rowena. What would you like to know about this attraction? I am quite sure it will be open this year. It is worth the trip

Rowena: I'm not sure what your question regards. You ask what one would like to know about Shell Falls, yet it seems you are from Shell, Wyoming. You go on to indicate it will open this year, and ask if it's worth the trip. I visited Shell Falls in June 2018. Yes, it is worth the visit. Exceptionally impressive. I do not know if the visitor center is open.
We drove up and down Rt 14 and never found it. I used Trip Advisor map.

Try using GPS, or even search the Web by entering the following description: SHELL FALLS INTERPRETIVE CENTER. The Web indicates: From Shell, Wyoming, take Highway 14 east approximately 11 miles. It's about a mile west of state road 264. There's a paved pull-off and limited parking, that accommodates mega tourist buses and RV trailers. When I was there in June, restrooms were under reconstruction and only Porta Potties were available. I hope you can find this incredible site, well worth the visit.
We will be traveling I90 in mid to late October. How far from I90 is the falls? And would you recommend it in October? Thanks.
A:
Thank you for your reply. Will the roads be snow covered/icy in October? I realize that no one can predict the weather that far out, but on average will the roads be snow covered? …
