Agnes Vaille Falls

(A Visit To A Large Waterfall In Colorado's Sawatch Mountains - August 8, 2007)

Similar to yesterday, I had a gap in my day schedule and felt compelled to go somewhere in the mountains. Agnes Vaille Falls, located inside Chalk Creek Canyon, sounded like a good idea and I was not disappointed with my visit.

How To Get There: From Nathrop, travel west on Chaffee County Road 162 into the mountains. You'll pass the Mt. Princeton Hot Springs on your 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!)

By the way, if you really love Colorado waterfalls, I'd like to plug my web site dedicated to them: www.Waterfall-Pictures.com. That site is my excuse and motivation to visit waterfalls as the opportunities arise in the mountains. ;)

Lastly, here are my picture collections within a close vicinity of the waterfall:

All the best,

Agnes Vaille Falls in Colorado

The trail to the waterfall is a short 0.5 miles. That peak in the middle, by the way, is the south face of Mt. Princeton.

Two photos approaching the waterfall.

Three more photos from slightly different angles.

A sign has some information about Agnes Vaille and her story.
