Follow old FR 5520.
You will pass two old concrete storage facilities on your right. An old
old road intersects FR 5520 on the right, but stay straight. Come to an
open area where you will see a wooden bridge and a carsonite sign
indicating the Roaring Fork Creek Falls Trail. This trail leaves the road
and goes about 100 yards into the woods following Roaring Fork Creek. It
terminates at the beautiful falls. Large granite boulders surround the
trail's end.
