As if Pagosa Springs wasn't a treasure in and of itself, this 105 foot tall waterfall (situated off Highway 160) is just one more jewel to add to this already beautiful area.
Named a Colorado Hidden Gem by the Colorado Tourism Office, Zapata Falls is a must-see the next time you travel the San Luis Valley toward the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve.

One of my favorite hikes as a child was near Adams Falls... today, it is still one of my favorite hikes because the entire trail is less than a mile (which is great when you're pregnant and have an increasingly heavy toddler) AND the falls themselves are gorgeous.
Yes, this incredible waterfall is located right here in Colorado and no, you don't have to hike crazy distances to reach the observation site... Isn't it great?!
Located just east of Steamboat Springs is that of Fish Creek Falls and its short, quarter-mile hike amidst the colorful Aspens.
Your eyes do not deceive you; those are indeed three 80-foot tall side-by-side waterfalls... spectacular, isn't it?!

When NoCo wants to see a waterfall, they don't have to travel way out west; they just head to these delicate falls located in the ever popular Lory State Park.
TWO stunning waterfalls near the same town?! I will never doubt you again, Tom Cruise! (About your choice in homes, that is...)
