Looking up Cascade Creek towards Agnes Vaille Falls — Chalk Creek, Chalk Creek Canyon. Day 6 – Road Trip October 2025.

The falls were named by a local resident and friend of mountaineer Agnes Vaille. Vaille died in January 1925 during a winter ascent of Longs Peak, located in the Rocky Mountain National Park. The Cascade Creek Trail was steep in places, and I had to pause and catch my breath a couple of times. Day 6 – Road Trip October 2025.
