Fish Creek Falls

Fish Creek Falls - about 5 miles out of the Steamboat Springs township... this was at the end of winter so a lot of snow melt... nice easy hiking paths take you to different elevations to view the falls... don't forget to take some cash to pay for your entrance - there is no signage on the way telling you there is a fee and I had to circle back to town as the rangers are constantly checking the parking lot #AquaTrove

It's probably awesome, but there was nothing even close to parking when we got there. We circled around the lots for a minute or two, then gave up realizing we made a $5 donation to the forest service.

5/5 - Excellent

Challenging but scenic hike.

5/5 - Excellent

This is well worth the short drive. IMPORTANT- The morning sun is behind the falls and pictures are not good. There are two trails. The upper lookout trail is a wide paved sidewalk, very level, easy for wheelchairs. The lower "recreational trail" is dirt/gravel and downhill all the way, thus uphill coming back. But it is only 1/4 mile and is a mild grade.

4/5 - Good

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

Super crowded and not very long long. Wouldn't pay $5 that's required to do this hike again.
