My wife and I took a side-trip off I-70 to visit Rifle Falls. The extra hour and a half was totally worth it! The waterfall is close to the parking area. I highly recommend taking the trail completely around the falls for more views. Small caves line the trail as well and are easy to step into. This was such an amazing stop! I highly recommend Rifle Falls!

Highly recommend stopping here if you're in the area. We stopped by mid afternoon on a Thursday and we basically had the whole place to ourselves. It was magical! The falls were stunning, the caves were fun and exciting- enough to pull my 16 year old away from his technology and spend some time exploring the place with me for a good hour or so! That in itself is enough for me to rate this place 5 stars! There were no staff on site when we got there, so make sure to bring your $10 cash and use the self pay station for your entrance fees. I would gladly pay double that amount to have the experience we did. It's a bit of a drive from the highway, but worth it! In fact, I'm planning to go back again once summer arrives so I can really see it in all its glory.

Spent about 1 hour at park in late April. Can see the base of the waterfalls and walk up top and see the waterfalls. There are some small caves to go into. A good stopping point if traveling between Denver and Grand Junction areas. Cost $10 if you have a vehicle.

Great place for kids of most ages. Can easily spend 2 hours with walking Coyete Trail and exploring caves. Bring a flashlight, otherwise you will be letting your kids use your phone's light. Ha ha.

This is a great place to go if you are in the area and willing to stop for a bit of scenery. We were camping at Rifle gap state park although you can camp here as well. As you enter the park, you do pass by all of the campsites (so note that if you are camping here there will be a lot of day traffic). After you pass the campsites, there is a small paved lot followed by a small gravel lot. They have someone there during peak times to help manage the parking flow and number of spots. There is a decent turn around though. The falls are right at the end of the path of the parking lot so not too far at all to walk. From there, there are a few trails you can take. We took the coyote trail in a 1.5 mile loop that took us to the top of the falls and back down. Note there are a lot of stairs and some steep stairs as well. There are different rock formations and "caves" that you can check out along the path as well. There are places where you can walk up close to the falls and even be misted. Great photo opportunities. Overall it is a nice trip over to see the falls. We were camping at Rifle gap state park only 4 miles away so that is something to do and see while you are there as well.

This is an easy walk up hill to see a beautiful waterfall! The caves were also cool and you can easily get to them by the train which is up stairs and a bit of climbing. There are longer hikes to take. We just stayed around the waterfall. We almost did not get to see this beautiful sure. We drove for over an hour to get there and were turned away two times because the park was at capacity. The first time we drove back down to Rifle and found a deli where we had lunch. We gave it another try and were again turned away. I saw other reviewers talk about the fish hatchery just above there, so we drive up to their parking lot to regroup and decided we would drive back home. As we passed by the entrance to the park, we saw they were now allowing cars in. We quickly turned in and were so happy we could get in! The drive there was beautiful as well and we passed by two other parks, one with a beautiful lake. I love the views out here. So different from where I am from on the east coast. I hope to return to the falls to take more family members to see it.

I would definitely recommend rifle Falls for anybody traveling off of I-70. My wife and I recently stayed in the area and our glad we made the Quick trip out there. The drive out Through the gap was scenic, There is a lake nearby. Parking was $10, The hike is relatively easy, The waterfalls are stunning, The caves are cool, but kind of creepy. Overall 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Take 15 minutes or a few hours. But be sure to stop and see this waterfall. Easy walk to see and nice stairs to climb up if you want to see a little behind the falls. Parking can be a problem on certain days and season as it is limited

This is a very attractive waterfall which is accessible from a very easy and very short path. A relatively easy trail takes you across the top and down the other side. A short track also takes you up behind the falls. There are small limestone caves to explore en-route. This is well worth a visit but there is limited parking so you may get turned away. There is a $10 charge for cars to enter the falls area.
