Maxwell Falls Trail, Denver, CO, 10/27/13


We hiked this trail with our friends Katy and Marlin.  I managed to forget, not my camera, but the battery in my camera, and Katy kindly took pictures with her iPhone.

This hike is a very short, level 20-minute walk to the falls overlook.  We heard the falls but did not see them.  Viewing the falls requires rock scrambling down an intermittent side trail.

Guest at lunch. I discarded my apple core and within minutes a chipmunk joint us in the meal. 

Marlin at right, Jim in back.

After lunch, we joined the Cliff Loop to for better views of the Maxwell Falls drainage area.

Back to the main trail meandering through lodegepine forest. All in all a short, sweet hike with fall colors still at their best at this altitude in late October.
