This is a heavily trafficked trail the follows Maxwell Creek up to a nice waterfall.
The forest area here is similar to the terrain at Alderfer -Three Sisters Park; there is almost no undergrowth amongst the Ponderosa Pine and Douglas Fir.
The highlight of the hike was the waterfall; but I have to say I think Bridal Veil Falls, Timberline Falls, Alberta Falls, and Macgregor Falls in RMNP are prettier.
Next on the day was down to Morrison to hike the Red Rocks Trading Post loop. Again, this is a heavily trafficked loop in the heat of Red Rocks. There were some wildflowers here.
A very short distance day. I think I drove longer than I hiked.
