Adams Falls

Trail Description:
This is a good, short hike on the Grand Lake side of the National Park. The trail is a little steep, but the wide path is easy to walk on. Take care when approaching the dramatic drop-off overlooking the falls. The falls are named after a late 1800's resident of Grand Lake. Hike about another 0.3 miles on good trail to the lower East Inlet meadow, a nice place for a picnic.

How to Get There:
From downtown Grand Lake, go north on Garfield and turn right onto West Portal Rd. Travel about 1.5 miles to the end of the road.
