HIKE DESCRIPTION:
Boulder Falls is not really a hike, it’s more of an attraction. There is a short trail with some rocks to scramble over at the end, but it’s not the kind of hike that you need to backpack up for. I’m including it on the page because it really is an awesome waterfall, especially in the spring when the flow is at its peak. As far as a hike description…park along Boulder Canyon, cross Hwy 119, walk along the trail, and enjoy the views of the falls.
Caution, the trail does not go up to the top of the falls and doing so is prohibited and dangerous…stay safe Colorado…
