This is one of our favorite short hikes. It is so peaceful and beautiful. When the river is not full we have crossed over to the fall. This is where my husband proposed to me.....another reason why we love this place

I took this "trail" during one of the hottest days this past summer with my husband, 13yr old daughter and her friend. It was a refreshing treat to an unbearable day. There is also a "tubing river" nearby with plenty of intertubes to rent! Can be a fun family outing with a picnic.

This is a very nice spot to check out if you are driving between Ned and Boulder. It's hardly a hike, as you can almost see the end from the trail head, but it's a beautiful scene of the falls. I carried my son in a pack and had no trouble, however I would not try this if the ground was wet or snowy. There is one spot in particular that could be quite dangerous in un-dry conditions. We will definitely stop again.
