Jan 16 Grotto Falls


Grotto Falls is on Trillium Gap Trail. During the winter months the easy route to the falls is closed. Today I started hiking at the Rainbow Falls trailhead on the Trillium Gap trail. It is about a 7 mile hike from there. Much of it is right next to the Roaring Fork Road. A couple times I had to walk out to the road to get over swollen creeks.



Once again today, the hills were filled with silver ribbons of water headed down.


Here I am in the grotto looking out through the waterfall. It was noisy and a bit wet. Normally you can proceed through the grotto and continue on Trillium Gap Trail. Today you'd have to wade through some water to do that.
