Booth Falls

While the elevation of Booth Creek Trail puts it in the montane zone, the stream-cut valley evokes images of a trek in the Alps. In two miles of trail, 1,100 vertical feet translates to a fair increase, but the scenery is grand, the wildflowers abundant, and the falls a worthy finale. For those so inclined, an additional four miles beyond Booth Falls continue up to Booth Lake. The first part of the trail rises steeply before easing through flowery areas and then continues ascending, most sharply as it nears Booth Falls itself. Wildflower Alert: A variety of nonstop wildflowers accompanies you from trailhead to falls.
