Trip to Iceland Post #20: Skogafoss

Our second to last full day in Iceland took us to three different waterfalls, and a few other sites I'll discuss in future posts. The third waterfall of the day was Skogafoss. I know I've said this about most things we saw in Iceland, but Skogafoss is a must visit if you are in the southern part of Iceland. The pictures below show why.

Skogafoss is a busy place with several tour buses and many visitors, but don't let that turn you away. This is a massive waterfall with beautiful views from both the top and bottom. Parking is at the bottom and there is a 400+ step stairway to the top. If you are physically able, take the hike to the top for some amazing views. This is part of a longer hiking trail and you can walk a bit if you like to view the landscape and river that falls off the cliff to create the waterfall. 

It was around lunch time when we visited, so after checking out the falls we sat in the car, with a perfect view of the falls and ate our packed lunch. Beautiful! Amazing! Wow! It's hard to sum up this waterfall in words. You really have to see it in person to truly understand the beauty of it.
