Really enjoyed this easy to moderate hike to the waterfall. It is a popular hike with the locals and their dogs. Flat-landers, like me, should consider the altitude when attempting any moderate hike at this elevation.

This is a beautiful trail. It will challenge non hikers, but they can make it. Hikers will not find it too easy. It takes a couple of hours. You have great views of nearby peaks and end up right at the base of a lovely waterfall. Can't ask for much more from a hike.

The 'brochure' said easy, but w/ 2 kids (aged 1 and 3) it was not easy. The kids LOVED playing by the stream though so it was well worth the effort.

It's a good warm-up, it's not difficult, but beautiful and enjoyable.You can do it after breakfast.You can do it to spend calories from the pastries you ate at "Baked in Telluride"

This is an easy approx. 5 mile round trip hike up between two mountains. It's beautiful in the summer and with all the quaking aspens, I'm sure it would be breathtaking in the fall. This is definitely family friendly and the gradient is not steep - there were plenty of families with young children hiking alongside us. Bear Creek Falls... More

Easy to find; walk E to Pine Street and head towards and over the river; the trailhead is ahead of you and to the left a little. Nice acclimating hike - uphill, not overly steep, maybe two miles one-way. The rock garden is a surprise - and you will know it when you see it. Nice views of the falls... More

We are from the plains and really don't have the opportunity to train for mountain hiking other than the treadmill and I loved this hike. My husband also, enjoyed the hike. After reading the reviews, I wasn't sure as some people have written that it is difficult while others state that the trail is easy. We chose to go slow... More

This was a wonderful hike- the beginning is pretty much uphill, but once past that it is a delightful hike. The falls at the end are so pretty- a must if you are in Telluride

We enjoyed this 5-mile round trip hike. Lovely views from the top of the canyon. Note: An "easy" hike is harder in high-altitude Telluride than it is in the National Parks or on the East Coast. Same is true for the mountain bike trails. But so much fun!!
