Description
Deep valleys and towering mountains, alpine lakes, rushing rivers, historic roads, challenging trails, and plenty of wildlife are all part of the Fall River Area of Rocky Mountain National Park. Just a few miles from the Fall River Visitor Center, visitors flock to Horseshoe Falls at the Alluvial Fan.
Here, Roaring River cascades down the mountainside in a large bend through the rocky hillside. That bend is what gives a name to this waterfall, a favorite family hike. Under a half mile for the round trip, this easy climb from the Alluvial Fan Trailhead crosses a well-built footbridge and up to many waterfall viewpoints. Those who can't make the hike are able to see the falls from the highway, that's one of the reasons for its popularity.
