Big Paddy Creek was low enough to ford at the old crossing point — It's the first time I've been able to cross here in quite a while. All the weed in the creek shows how low and slow the creek is at the moment. 2

Agnes Vaille Falls

Gary — Mon, 06 Oct 2025 17:42:00 +0000

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.
