Summary: From the trailhead, follow the obvious trail for 1.8 miles up to the falls. Enjoy the cascading Booth Creek and the magnificent views as you hike. Wildflowers flourish in this paradise. Don't take this hike for granted though, you'll still gain a lot of elevation, so bring your hiking boots and a couple liters of water. Trailhead: From Denver head to Vail via I-70 and take the East Vail exit (Exit 180). Head west 0.85 miles to the Booth Falls Road. Turn right and follow this road for 0.2 miles to the trailhead parking area.

Reviewed by Doug on 9/2/2007 I hiked this trail back in the Spring of circa 1978 with my dad, when I was only ten years old. I remember beautiful scenery. On the way up the trail, I stepped on a snake, fell backwards and landed on my butt. I vaguely remember crossing the stream at the top of the falls, on a log. We refilled our water bottles at the top, without using a filter, but we didn't get sick.
Reviewed by JB&JB on 7/5/2006 What a hike! Hosting out-of-town guests, we decided to take them on this trail to see the falls. They're low-landers and struggled a little with the altitude gain, but were so tickled when we finally made it to the falls! The trail was a little crowded, but it was a holiday weekend... Be sure to bring plenty of water -- elevation gain + summer heat = parched throats! Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous.
