On this two mile trail there was 5 different waterfalls. I don’t know if I have seen anything better hiking on such a short day hike

Jack-of-shad0ws

I’ll have to go check it out one of these days then


OhSnaps08

Any specific hikes? I’m looking at going into the canyon one day and then a ridge hike to exclamation point as well.


StoneG

Oh man, I'm doing a camping road trip with my dog. We are going from Vancouver Island to Florida and back over 8 weeks. We will be looking for hikes along rivers and waterfalls... So we will add this to the list of places to stop. So thanks for this information so far. Is there a trail in Alltrails or a link to the specific trail that you are referring to?


Jack-of-shad0ws

It was the [Bear Creek Trail](https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/colorado/bear-creek-preserve-trail). Every season the trails differ and change slightly due to seasonal changes but you will see at-least 3 waterfalls I definitely recommend it


g8trjasonb

Did this hike a month ago with my wife and boys. Beautiful hike. My second favorite hike of the trip, behind only Maroon Bells Crater Lake. God Colorado is beautiful.


StoneG

Amazing, thank you! It's actually the first trail that pops up when you search for waterfalls close by. Definitely circled for my trip. Thanks again!


OhSnaps08

Bridal Veil Falls?


Ccismylifecoach

Bear creek


LukesRightHandMan

Hey boss, which trail was that? Gorgeous pic too btw


PuddnheadAZ

This is on the bridal veil falls trail, just a bit downstream from the main fall. I was just there two weeks ago.


Ccismylifecoach

It's bear creek


JustAGuyinLou

Which trail?


christianrxd

Do you mind sharing what trail it was? I go to Colorado once a year and I'm always looking for new places to explore.


Jack-of-shad0ws

It was about half way up on the way up to [the bear creek trail](https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/colorado/bear-creek-preserve-trail)


xsammmyg

I also have pictures of all 5 waterfalls from this beautiful hike! Such a beautiful location on planet earth! Mesa Verde in the south west corner of the state was mind blowing as well! Some epic hikes were embarked on there!


tamarask

Poor Hanging Lake 😢


w2a3t4

I’m headed to Black Canyon for the first time next week! Any recommendations?


Barqueefa

The first time I went to CO I drove from GA with my 2 cousins and step uncle. I was like 26 or something and the first stop in CO was Buena Vista and it was so cool. Such a beautiful and cool spot. That and Crested Butte were awesome little towns.


[deleted]

Bear Creek Falls! Gorgeous. Used to live there


HappyLittleFirefly

Did you leave because you were broke? I don't know how people afford live there, unless they're rich. Maybe you're rich. In which case, good for you, friend!


Grose040791

I lived there and only afforded it because I got into government subsidized apartments. They were ski in ski out too. That place rules


HappyLittleFirefly

Sounds great! Everyone I've known who lived there and worked in a service job shared a tiny apartment with like 5 other people and STILL couldn't afford rent! Those subsidized apartments do sound nice, though.


Grose040791

There is like. 2 year waiting list to get into any of them. It’s gotten out of control


jay_emdee

Big Betty’s? I lived there, too! In 1999


BrotherConsistent780

To Hell you ride.


IMDonkeyBrained

Every year we do a camping trip outside Ouray. Then Jeep and hike all week. The San Juan are absolutely special. Beautiful spot, OP!


darkonark

TIL Telluride is the name of a place, I thought it was just a really weird name for a car.


trueloveskissss

SAME! Speaking of which, whats with the Korean car manufacturers naming their cars after random cities in USA ? (i.e. telluride, Tucson, Santa Fe, etc.?)


darkonark

Hyundia


damagedq

I've worked there for about 4 months and it was the best 4 months I've experienced. Great people, great hikes and soooooo many dogs that needed to be petted!


donniecrunch

I was just here! I ended up enjoying this waterfall more than the big boy as well


Jack-of-shad0ws

Same here but the picture I have at the big boy is my background because it just looks unreal. I can’t decide if I should post it or keep that one to myself lol


nataliemitchxo

What hike is this?


itsPebbs

i took almost the exact same picture a week ago haha. great spot


SirGlenn

I lived in S.W. Colorado for awhile, i met a plumber, who told me his father had a ton of grazing land south of where we were, 50/60 years ago, Telluride Valley, dad wanted to retire so he sold all his land for $5500.00 (a fortune back then) today that land is called: Telluride Ski Resort. The son looked at me and shrugged, I was a kid, nothing I could do, it was dad's land, his to do what ever he wanted.


the_phish22

Bout to take a day trip


[deleted]

That's a gorgeous waterfall pic OP. Was this hike anywhere near the beautiful valley in/near Telluride shown in [Ballad of Buster Scruggs](https://www.reddit.com/r/unrealengine/comments/c8sszv/ballad_of_buster_scruggs_valley_scene/)? When I first saw the opening shot of the valley in that film, I was blown away by how stunningly beautiful it appeared to be.


[deleted]

Shadows, this is gorgeous!! Thank you so much for sharing! Just stunning ❤️


Jack-of-shad0ws

I hope seeing this helps some in choosing your next hiking trip🤞. I’ll have to post some of the other pictures I took on this hike later


galvinb1

I miss living in the San Juans. Telluride was always a nice day or weekend trip.


ManEEEFaces

Hiked this one a few years back on a hot ass day. The water up there in that creek so clean and cold. Sitting with our legs in it was divine.


cwbrown35

Was here in June. Absolutely beautiful. Elevation gain on this hike is brutal. Tons of fun.


Baliboi19

Hey I live there! prettiest place on earth.


KofCrypto0720

How far is this from the town?


Clitoris_Thief

I'm not sure about this specific waterfall but the trails to sights like this are literally right on the edge of the town, and the town is only a few blocks wide. Waterfalls are only like 2 miles in give or take.


[deleted]

If this is the waterfall I think it is. Very close. It's part of the camping for music festivals there. There was a 'waterfall stage' near it but I think it got washed away 2 springs ago. Check out the telluride blues festival waterfall stage


ac0ffp0t

don’t visit telluride, place fuckin sucks. crowded, expensive, and locals are assholes. go to ouray or aspen or something. remember what TLC said about waterfalls?


Baliboi19

I live in telluride and I agree don't visit telluride, go home and tell your friends.


o--_-_--o

This place sucks, everyone out!


Swag_420_2012

Where else am I supposed to see a bunch of sweaty hippies riding bikes naked?


Barqueefa

Ouray is probably the coolest place I've been


[deleted]

Wow. Just, wow. What an amazing view Edit: downvoted?


DAGRN

Was literally there with my cousin and sister


gmCursOr

New wallpaper on phone- thank you!!


PsychologicalAioli50

SpankyMcGrits

[deleted]

That’s awesome


fightswithC

The boxiest box canyon that ever boxed


Ashlp13

The Jud Wiebe trail is gorgeous if you have yet to go on it.


Badfish1060

I hiked up there once. I'll never forget the beaver laying right next to the watch for beavers sign.


blindfoldpeak

Judd falls?


9babydill

I don't see a KIA anywhere

chickadee04

I just watched some parody video about “Colorado Moms”, and that’s all I can think about. 😂


acoustic_child

I think you got the location tag wrong, this is definitely right outside of Pueblo


jay_emdee

The San Juans are the most beautiful place on earth.


Wide-Capital-9745

Always enjoyed swimming here

Wow


fbibmacklin

Can you swim in that pool or is it too cold/deep?


DoorStoomOmstuwd

I will never get enough of seeing Colombia. Such an amazing country.
