Where the Waterfalls Are
Pagosa Springs sits in or near the San Juan Mountains area of Colorado. The San Juans are Colorado's most rugged range, a deeply eroded volcanic plateau where streams plunge off sheer walls. Bridal Veil Falls closes off the head of Telluride's box canyon and is one of the tallest falls in the state. Around Wolf Creek Pass, Treasure Falls is visible from the highway, and Piedra Falls lies in quieter forest country nearby. North Clear Creek Falls in Hinsdale County drops into a canyon near the high road between Lake City and Creede. Ouray, surrounded by cliffs and narrow gorges, has several falls within reach of town. Snow lingers late here, so peak flows often run into July. Read the Colorado waterfall guide.
