'''Treasure Falls''' is a [[waterfall]] located off Hwy 160 about 15 miles northeast of [[Pagosa Springs, Colorado]]. The falls are named after a local legend of a treasure of gold on the mountain the falls plunges from. There is a trail head clearly marked off of Hwy 160. The falls are somewhat visible from the parking lot, and a short but a hike of about 15 minutes and 300 feet of elevation gain will arrive hikers at the base of the falls where there is a foot bridge for excellent viewing. A switchback trail will take hikers closer to the plunge base, called the "Misty Deck" where hikers can view and feel the spray of the falls. |
