Fourmile Falls

Cappie’s Scoop: Oh what fun it is to hike on snow and slide on ice! I must have crossed 3 or 4 spots covered with ice. Maybe they were small streams or creeks. Be very careful when you cross them and don’t run. Mom had spikes on her shoes. I think I need some of those. I saw the waterfall from far away because it was very muddy and slippery to get closer. But it’s okay because I saw a rainbow by the waterfall and mom took my picture with it! Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!

Tips: Take Fourmile Stock Drive trail 569 to reach the waterfall. At the time we hiked this trail, there was still snow and ice on the trail so we packed (and used) our microspikes which made the trek so much better. We passed over frozen creek crossings and enjoyed the gorgeous views of snow covered trees. We weren’t able to close very close to the falls due to mud and snow but we did have a view of them!

Directions: The road to the trailhead closes in the winter.
