Horsetooth Falls Loop - Fort Collins Colorado Hikes

A beautiful hike up to a cascading waterfall on a trail through open hills, narrow gulches, open meadows, and rock-lined ridges. The best time of the year to do the hike is late spring when the wildflowers are blooming and the falls are quite impressive with water from the spring runoff.
