Here are 10 easy to moderately strenuous hikes from an avid hiker who’s always on the hunt for lesser-traveled trails.
The box canyon surrounding Telluride has several wonderful waterfall hikes. Like the popular Bear Creek Falls and more strenuous Bridal Veil Falls, lesser-known Cornet Creek Falls is also walkable from downtown Telluride.
After spotting it from the gondola, some friends and I went in search of the falls. It was late afternoon and we had about an hour for the hike. We walked up Aspen Street to the Jud Wiebe Trailhead. You can hike the moderately difficult 2.7-mile Jud Wiebe loop or do this much shorter hike with a spectacular finish.
It’s a half mile round-trip hike to the 80-foot Cornet Creek Falls. The shaded trail is steep in some areas with loose rock so make sure to wear shoes with good traction. We did the hike in late June and the water was really flowing thanks to snowmelt. On the return hike you’re treated to great views of Telluride Ski Resort. We stopped and sat along the creek for a bit, dipping our feet in the icy water.When the road dead ends on the South Rim of Black Canyon there’s an easy 1.
Your legs will likely turn to jelly and your heart will pound as you climb the 224 steps to the top of the falls. Keep hiking on trails to Inspiration Point or Midnight Falls to lose the crowd while logging extra mileage and enjoying the forest and the views.
