A Guide to Waterfalls in the San Juan Mountains
Whitmore Falls
near Lake City, Colorado
near Lake City, Colorado
Description:
Even though the road is a little rough and the foot trail a little steep, it's always worth the extra stop. I love how Whitmore Falls changes over the seasons. In the fall, the water trickles as it slides down the ice. During the summer, it bursts through the rocks above pounding the pool of water below. No matter the season, it never fails to show its beauty!
This 40 ft plunging waterfall is surrounded by rock cliffs and located.10 of a mile off of Engineer Pass/The Alpine Loop/County Road 20. The water flows from Henson Creek.
