RMNP - West Creek Falls from Cow Creek TH

This waterfall in the northwest corner of RMNP can be visited on an easy hike (5 miles and 900 ft gain), or could be an add-on to a longer hike on the North Boundary or West Creek trails.

The route starts and ends in Rocky Mountain National Park, but most of it is outside the park, in the Comanche Peak Wilderness.

Please view this document with everything you need to know about Rocky Mountain National Park 

From the Cow Creek Trailhead, follow the North Boundary Trail (USFS #958) to the junction with West Creek Trail (USFS #967), and take this west to the falls.

Parking is very limited at the Cow Creek trailhead, and fills up early on weekends and in peak season.
