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 and moderately steep 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.
