Introduction

Agnes Vaille Falls is located inside Chalk Creek Canyon and west of the town of Nathrop and the Mt. Princeton Hot Springs. This is the most popular waterfall in Chaffee County, and its easy accessibility make it a sure winner for vacationers in Salida and Buena Vista who desire to see a large waterfall in person.

How To Get There: From Nathrop, travel west on Chaffee County Road 162 into the mountains. Pass the Mt. Princeton Hot Springs on the left. Keep going! The Agnes Vaille Falls Trailhead and parking area are a few more miles ahead with a sign on the right. If you reach Cascade Falls or where the pavement ends, you've gone too far! The trail is a 0.5 mile ascent to the waterfall. Note that signs exist warning hikers of the possibility of falling rocks on the left side of the canyon.
