About

Baskins Creek Falls drops 40 feet and can be reached via a moderate 3-mile roundtrip trail from the Roaring Fork area. Less visited than Laurel Falls or Rainbow Falls, it offers a quieter waterfall experience. The trail has some challenging sections but rewards with a less crowded destination.
