Edworthy Falls Trail Description
This trail is definitely worth putting on the bucket list. It is the perfect moderate hike for those searching for an exciting half-day effort. From the parking lot, head off towards Elbow Lake, which you will reach after 0.9mi. This is a destination of its own, equipped with a backcountry campsite that makes for a great break spot. The trail continues through the forest, offering some clearings with views. You’ll reach a small trail that leads you to both sets of falls, the right trail to the smaller falls. Check out both, and be sure to spend some time enjoying these incredible landmarks before turning back.
