Also located near Telluride, Cornet Creek Falls can be accessed via a short and sweet 0.25-mile hike that leads from downtown Telluride to the dainty falls - as well as its surrounding red cliffs and birds-eye views! (Please note: The hike may be short but consists of loose gravel, so wear sturdy shoes while walking.)

Nestled away in the Curecanti National Recreation Area, Chipeta Falls is tiny but mighty, as the delicate cascade shoots from rocky and dramatic canyon walls. While visiting, we recommend setting aside a little time to take a boat tour, which gets you up close to not only the falls, but other stunning parts of the upper Black Canyon.
