Beware Rough and Scary Old Fall River Road Part 1 of 2 in High Quality
Old Fall River Road Part 1 of 2 Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado USA includes Chasm Falls
The Fall River Road was the first road to cross the Rocky Mountains in northern Colorado. Starting by Larimer and Grant counties in 1913 before the establishment of Rocky Mountain National Park, the early construction was carried out by state prison inmates. The convicts made little progress and contractors completed the road in 1920. The unpaved mountain road climbed from Horseshoe Park up the steep Fall River Valley over a series of tight switchbacks to reach Fall River Pass at 11,796'; from there, the road continued down the west side of the mountains to Grand Lake. Despite the popularity of the route, the road proved difficult to traverse and maintain. Automobiles had trouble mastering the steep grade and tight curves and avalanches often buried the road forty feet deep. Following the completion of Trail Ridge Road in 1932 the eastern Half of Fall River Road became a one-way scenic drive from Endovalley up to Fall River Pass; the western half was abandoned or overbuilt by the Trail Ridge Road.
GRADE: The road climbed to Fall River Pass on steep grades sometimes reaching 16%. Some early automobiles had to climb in reverse due to their weak engines and gravity-fed fuel system. Surface materials washed off quickly.
TURN RADIUS: Motorists had to negotiate sixteen switch-backs with radii as tight as 20'. Some vehicles had to turn back and forth repeatedly to make the curves.
HD St Vrain Canyon and Creek Lyons to Allenspark Colorado in High Def
St Vrain Canyon and Creek Colorado St. Vrain Creek (often known locally as the St. Vrain River) is a tributary of the South Platte River, approximately 40 miles (64 km) long, in north central Colorado in the United States. It drains part of the foothills north of Boulder and the Colorado Piedmont area in the vicinity of Longmont.
The creek is formed by the confluence of North and South St. Vrain creeks at Lyons. The creek rises in several branches in the foothills of the Front Range northwest of Boulder. Middle St. Vrain Creek rises along the continental divide, west of St. Vrain Mountain. It descends in canyon to flow along State Highway 7 and past Raymond. It joins the shorter South St. Vrain Creek just below Raymond. North St. Vrain Creek rises northeast of St. Vrain Mountain near Allenspark and descends in a canyon to the east along U.S. Highway 36. The two branches join at Lyons, at the mouth of the canyon. East of Lyons, the combined stream flows southeast through farmland and ranch country, passing south of Hygiene and entering Longmont. It passes through the south side of Longmont where it is rimmed by a greenway trail and several parks. East of Longmont it flows generally northeast, meandering through a wide river bottom in ranch country and passing under Interstate 25 south of the intersection with State Highway 66. It joins the South Platte from the west just upstream from the ruins of Fort St. Vrain and approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) northwest of Platteville.
The creek rivers Left Hand Creek south of Longmont and Boulder Creek east of Longmont.

Sensational! Chasm Waterfall in Rocky Mountain National Park in High Quality
Chasm Waterfall in high definition Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado Drop: 30 foot drop with cascades above and below the main drop. Directions: Take US 34 west from Estes Park into the Rocky Mountain National Park on Fall River Road. About .9 miles past the Endovalley turnoff, just above a switchback, is the parking area for Chasm Falls. There is a trail that follows the falls downstream from the parking area. It is well maintained; a little steep but not too bad.
Throughout its 416 square miles of rock-ribbed wildness, Rocky Mountain National Park truly is a land of superlatives. Here at least 60 mountains exceed 12,000 feet, topping off at 14,259 feet on the football field-sized summit of Longs Peak. Names such as Cirrus, Chiefs Head, Isolation, Mummy, and Storm evoke the grandeur of this high landscape.
Although the great peaks comprise the essence of the park, the delicate alpine flowers, clear lakes, rushing mountain waters, and impressive forests appeal to all the senses. An array of wildlife - bighorn sheep, ptarmigan, coyote, elk - adds life to the landscape.
The wide variety of elevations and habitats create a choice of activities for visitors. From scenic drives and short strolls along a gentle trail to more ambitious daylong hikes to vertical mountain climbs, Rocky Mountain National Park offers many ways to experience nature in all its splendor.
South St Vrain Canyon Boulder County Colorado
A nature landscape view looking up south St Vrain Creek and the south St Vrain Canyon west of Lyons, highway 7 that goes up past Raymond and Allenspark. One of the most beautiful canyons in Boulder County Colorado. It is one of my most favorites because it goes right past Longs Peak, Chapel on the Rocks and drops into Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. If you are into fishing, this is a fly fisherman's paradise.
