Roaring Fork Falls

Roaring Fork Falls is located in the valley east of the Black Mountains.  There is parking just outside the Busick Work Center and after about a half mile of forest road, the trail to the falls leaves across a footbridge.

 The falls is a long series of cascade dropping about 100 feet total.  There is a particularly nice pool at the bottom if you can get over the frigid water temperatures.

On our visit it was a relatively sunny day but the waterfall is located in a deep narrow valley and not a lot of light makes it down there.   The log on the right side of this picture is actually bolted to the rock.  We’re not really sure why as the view isn’t any better.
