This was listed as a 1/4 mile hike to the falls. Note that most of that is uphill and you are in a higher altitude. The path was easy to walk on though. We were here late morning on a Monday in late …Full review by Lori G

I would imagine regular hours as you do not want to be there too early or late. Go when the sun is shining as it's too slippery and dangerous at night. You will not find many safeguards anywhere there or elsewhere. Not to say Colorado is dangerous, but their idea of a safe trail is different than where most people are from. Wear hiking boots, and guard your unit.
Q:
Are there rest rooms / portajohns currently open at this area? I've seenconflicting statements in the past.
A:
There are no restrooms at Treasure Falls. There is a rest area with restrooms and picnic tables outside of South Forks, after going over a Wolf Creek Pass.
Q:
Is it possible to access the parking area when coming west (south) on 160?
A:
Yes, you can turn from either direction.
Q:
Would we be able to drive a 25' RV to the trailhead?
A:
Yes! No problem at all. They even have parking for bigger vehicles.

Hi it is winter in early March. However this falls it right by the highway. Hike up may be very icy and snowy. We were up here at the end of March last year and it was very snowy. 4 feet high in some places. Did not have boots so stuck to paved routes. This year no snow up here yet. It is somewhat cold. Depends on what part of the country you are coming from. Days can be in 40s and nights in teens.
