Liquid Descent Rafting - Idaho Springs

👍👍 Absolutely amazing. Everyone is so nice and I would come back again!
The guides are EMT qualified, very knowledgeable, and hilarious! My guide knew I wanted a bit of extra fun on mine so he threw in some amazing surprises! But also was really careful about it!

I started early at 4 am because of my age, 70. I have to take it slow. It was difficult but I made it to the top of...

Berthoud Falls Cascades
Tourist attraction
👍 Cute little waterfall area if you want to stop on your way up all the switchbacks (would avoid when going down). There isn't a lot of parking, and not a ton to see, but it's relaxing and pretty.
