Horsetooth Falls Trail — Attraction in Four Corners States

I took this hike with my dogs, early Aug 2023. Unbelievably, the falls were flowing! I think it's listed as an easy trail, but i think it's more moderate.

Water fountain is for people and dogs (seperate fountains). Parking has video cameras and is patrolled with security for your...

There was parking and rest room facilities at the base of the mountain. We began our hike and about 15 minutes in we hit a fork in the road, one continued hiking the other led to the falls. We walked about and ninety minutes to the falls but when we arrived there was only a drip of water coming down. It was all frozen, there was a large amount of snow and ice as it accumulated. It was still a gorgeous view and the air was so crisp and clean. The drive up there is phenomenal. We will definitely return in the...
