Escape to the Mountains

Ouzel Falls is one of many fine waterfalls found in Rocky Mountain National Park. The patterns of the flowing water create subtle tones on the irregular rock face. A very fine mist bouncing off the dark granite helps to cool the hikers after a moderate 2.7-mile trek from the Wild Basin Trailhead. Along the way, the hike passes by Upper & Lower Copeland Falls and Calypso Cascades created by Saint Vrain, Cony, and Ouzel Creeks. It makes for a nice walk in the woods.
