Stiles Falls — Attraction in Christiansburg

When you start off on this adventure make sure you sign 🪧 in and out on the hikers sheet. This lets someone know you left and came back safe. When you start your hike the road takes you past a playground, campground 🏕 farm homes 🏡 small pond, river and then you finally reach the treeline 🌲 where the 🪵 wooded trail leads you 🆙 to the falls. One ☝️ of the most picturesque hiking trails I’ve been on. When you arrive you’ll have the sensation of coming upon this magnificent view and will not be disappointed. My husband and I took our time meditating 🧘🏾‍♂️ and filming a short yoga 🧘‍♀️ video. We wanted to take our adventure to the next level so we hiked ⬆️ up the steep trail to the left but unfortunately ran into a yellow jacket 🐝 nest. I escaped with one ☝️ sting 🐝 but my husband was not so fortunate. FYI the tea ☕️ bag and baking soda along with lots of Benadryl Works. We could not go down the same way and unfortunately there was no other way down except for the falls which we did with care because we sure as heck were not going to get stung anymore. TIP-go in October, the heat and bugs 🐜 were annoying, this was a 45-1hr hike one ☝️ way. Use a natural bug 🐜 spray called natrapel see picture. Over all we did NOT let the yellow jackets 🐝 spoil one of the most beautiful trails to a fall we’ve ever been on, even though those stings burned for...

We loved this trail! We are not seasoned hikers and went with our tennis shoes . Starts out on a gravel driveway for about half mile before you get into woods. Once in the woods there is a gradual incline but not too bad. You cross a creek at 2 spots walking across rocks. It’s all in a valley so getting lost would be pretty hard! And there white dots painted trees to keep you on trail … 3/4 of way up there’s a section that’s about a 6 foot incline with rocks to step up and about a 20 foot section that’s about 8 inches wide then walk across stream again and you’ll see the most beautiful waterfall!! Whole trail was maybe 3 miles .. didn’t take long and didn’t seem long cause it’s very interesting. Not looking at just trees. It’s all along the creek and very beautiful!!

Others say they took dogs and although that may be I wouldn’t take mine. Some drop offs are narrow with a ?20 foot drop.. it was amazing! They don’t charge for parking or hiking but we left $20 in the donation box .. it was a blast and it’s hard to believe they do t charge.. and the ladies in the office were the friendliest people you ever wanna meet!

I chose moderate cause they don’t really give an accurate option but it’s easy with a couple maybe moderate sections but overall easy.. Our heart rates stayed...

Awesome place to hike. In general people are friendly. It's about 4 miles total to and from the waterfall. You will have to park; walk 1 mile of flat road; walk 1 mile of moderately tough terrain to the waterfall; you will have to cross the river twice. The trail is dog friendly. DO NOT hold onto the ropes when you see them; I wished they put up signs to warn hikers as kids and elders have a tendency to use that as a hand rail (people with that inclination could just go diving down the treacherous slopes). This is a private property area, so be grateful they are allowing public access. At the parking lot there is male/female bathrooms; the male bathroom, for sure, has a shower. There are picnic areas, volleyball + basketball courts, and a playground at the parking area. You will be hard-pressed to see anything greener in the summertime. There's even a small...
