    Tips

    July 31, 2023

    Horsetooth Falls is a 20 foot waterfall in the heart of the Horsetooth Mountain Open Space. At the base of the falls the water collects in a large pool and flows into Spring Creek. There are a few seating areas where you can relax and take in the great views and cool off in the mist on hot days. You can go behind the falls, but be aware of wet rock. There is also a trail that leads to the top of the falls.
