| no partners | | This description should really just be called Popo Agie Falls, I may fill in the description page and put in the more commonly known name in as the title. I am sure they are also referred to as the Middle Fork Falls, as they are along the middle fork of the Popo Agie, but locally and at the trailhead they are simply referred to as Popo Agie Falls.
This was my last hike in the Wind River Range and was just meant to be a quick stroll before hitting the road. My expectations were not overly high and I honestly just expected a stretch of cascades in the river. But the falls area actually proved to be pretty spectacular. There were several impressive falls consolidated in this geologically odd area where it seems the river just decided to change course and plunge in an almost dog leg like direction off a cliff into the main water course below. The trail was well maintained and easy to follow. It is clear that these falls are a popular destination, but I was able to get up to the falls and back with only passing two fisherman.
I would definitely recommend this hike to anyone in the area looking for a short hike or looking for a more family friendly hike. |
