Animas River Drainage
Located within the Columbine Ranger District of San
Juan National Forest, the 6.0 mile Cascade Creek Trail is rated more
difficult and has a starting elevation of 9,200' and an ending elevation
of 11,200'.
There are two trails, on either side of the
creek. The trail on the east is a stock driveway that is steep and muddy
in spots. The trail on the west is more pleasant; it stays closer to the
stream and is moderate hiking. Directly across the creek is the end of the
Cascade Trail, where the west-side trail ends (or turns into Graysill
Trail). It is best to cross the creek up a little ways. To the east is
Graysill Trail, which continues on until it ties into the Rico-Silverton
Trail. There are several beautiful views and waterfalls.
