Here are some of the beautiful views that I had while hiking to the waterfalls today. Beginning of hike had full view of mountain ridge that I was hiking to, as well as the meadow that contained the stream that flowed from the falls. The falls were near the base of the ridge shown in upper left pic. #Colorado #mountains #hiking

Photo of valley looking back away from ridge. I am at a higher elevation than valley and getting close to ridge. The part of the stream that is well downstream from the falls is shown meandering through the meadow.
