It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year! Two Waterfalls to see in the Winter. TREASURE FALLS (Right) is closest to Alpine Accents.
The name Treasure Falls came from Treasure Mountain, which legend says holds buried gold.
The waterfall cascades 105 ft. into Falls Creek and continues to the San Juan River, which begins at the top of Wolf Creek Pass and flows west all the way to the Gulf of California.
The trail is about 1/2 mile and well maintained, it can be slick in wet or icy weather.

DIRECTIONS: From South fork travel west on US 160 over the top of Wolf Creek pass as you travel down the pass the Parking lot for the falls is at the bottom of the last switch back.

NORTH CLEAR CREEK FALLS (Left) on the Silver Thread Scenic Byway is one of the most photographed waterfalls in Colorado. Located in Hinsdale County west of Creede Colorado, between Creede CO and Lake City, CO. This impressive waterfall drops over 100 feet from the plateau above to the canyon below. North Clear Creek Falls is directly fed by the meltwaters of the high altitude mountains of the San Juan Mountain Range near Slumguillion Pass (around 11,500ft) and Spring Creek Pass (around 10,500ft). This waterfall’s vertical drop was the result of some volcanic eruptions and ash flows that were also responsible for the creation of the underlying Nelson Mountain Tuff layer as well as the San Juan Volcanic Field which created the San Juan Mountains.
DIRECTIONS: Travel west on Hwy 149 from South Fork CO to Creede, Colorado then travel west on State Highway 149 for 26 more miles. Follow the signs and turn right on FS510 and go southeast for 1/2 mile to the overlook. Takes about an hour to drive to.
