Bee and I decided to head up to check out Phoenix Park Waterfall, only of the many waterfalls in the Creede, CO area, but one we had not yet visited. We did a quick map download on AllTrails and headed towards Willow Creek.
We read that it was about 2.5 miles to the falls from the trail head, but that a 4×4 could drive to 2/3 mi from the falls….so we aired our tires down and hit the trail!
It started out a bit rocky and bumpy but about halfway in definitely became a bit more technical! We took our time on the trail and passed a few side-by-sides headed out as well as some hikers sharing the road. We didn’t have any real issues but I am glad I had skid plates in a few of the more narrow rocky areas on the trail! After a water crossing we came to the trails end and caught up with a cool old Toyota FJ.
We started hiking and caught glimpses of the falls, and after an easy hike we were standing at the base of the falls and treated to a cool mist.
It was starting to cloud up and we knew some afternoon rain was coming in, so we headed back to the runner and started making our way back towards town. All in all a fun few hour trip and we crossed the last waterfall in the area we had not been to off the list!
