8. Beautiful Bridal Veil Falls

Bridal Veil Falls is situated near Telluride. It is the state’s tallest waterfall. Bridal Veil Falls pours 365 feet down the canyon. The hike to reach this spot is reportedly “not extreme.”
Most hikers can do the less-than-four mile hike in less than two hours. Upon your return from the fall drive into Telluride and take in this Victorian mining town too. Visit in the winter and you can even enjoy some great skiing.

 

9. Hanging Lake

The Hanging Lake Hike is one of the most scenic hikes in the state. The hike to Hanging Lake, near Glenwood, is not long but it is said to be “fairly rigorous.” If you want to avoid the crowds, visit in the offseason.

The Hanging Lake itself is a true geological phenomenon. Some call it “magical” because it appears to hang off the edge of the mountain as waterfalls spill out of an adjoining cliff into its waters.
