Hike to Adams Falls
Adams Falls is one of the most popular hikes in the Grand Lake area, and one of the easiest. If you are just hiking to the falls, you will not need to bring much with you besides a camera, due to the distance.
If you plan to venture past the falls, pack accordingly.
Once you park in the trailhead parking lot, begin your short trek on the wide dirt path over the small hill. From here you wil...

For many people, this is the tur...

Parking at the trailhead is limited, so hikers can also park along the road leading to the trailhead. The beginning of the hike is on an unpaved road, leading to a privately owned cabin (1.0 miles in). Ju...
