Fish Creek Falls, Waterfall in Routt National Forest, Colorado, United States.
Fish Creek Falls drops 283 feet through a glacial valley, creating a powerful cascade visible from multiple viewing platforms along the maintained trails.
Native American tribes frequented the Fish Creek Falls area for centuries, utilizing its water resources and natural surroundings for their daily activities.
The waterfall serves as a recreation center where local residents and visitors participate in hiking during summer and ice climbing in winter months.
Visitors can access the falls through a quarter-mile paved trail from the parking area, which requires a five-dollar day-use fee per vehicle.
During winter, the waterfall transforms into a frozen column, attracting technical ice climbers who scale its vertical surface.
