Zoar Valley Multiple Use Area
A rugged sandstone gorge with tiered waterfalls, sheer cliffs, and forested rim — ideal for dramatic landscape and waterscape images.

Access via Valentine Flats parking lot (no fee) with steep, uneven trails and some off-trail scrambling; bring sturdy boots. Weekdays and early mornings reduce hikers. No special permits;
