Rifle Gap Falls, CO

Rifle Falls State Park is the closest you'll get to the tropics in Colorado. The falls is a lush area of trees and greenery kept moist by the spray of the cascading triple waterfall. Mysterious limestone caves beneath the falls entice spelunkers and other curious visitors to explore their dark depths. Simply breathtaking.

That's Jimmy & Don down at the bottom of the falls. You might have to click on the picture so you can see them.
This was a very easy hike from the trailhead and it was really beautiful falls.
We were able to get right up to the falls, that is Jimmy standing there in silhouette and in front of him is a bench to set and view the falls, it is hard to see.
The limestone rock of the falls had many small caves in them. Jimmy & Don explored one of them, they even found their way out!
