If you're driving through this area, you have to make this stop. It's a quick walk from the parking lot to the waterfall viewing area and this waterfall is impressive!

We have been coming to Creede for nearly 30 years and have heard for years that you either need to do a hike or 4x4 trail into the site. The hike is a little to long for us and the word on the 4x4 trail was that it was the most bumpy and miserable trail into the site. Therefore, we hadn’t been on it. This year we rented a 6-seater ATV from Creede Adventure Rentals and we had an absolute blast! The trail is rough but some normal 4x4s were there but mostly ATVs. There is a hike at the end of the trail that takes a minimum of about 30-45minutes to get to the overlook. Make sure if you aren’t taking the whole 3 mile loop trail (1.5 hr minimum) to take a left at the trail split to see into and overlook the geologic area. It is absolutely beautiful. Also our ATV rental was around $375 for the day. Expect a full 2.5 hours up to the hiking portion. I would recommend a full 2-3 hours for the hike, photons, and hang out and then budget another 1.5 hours down (this was pushing it with no stops at full speed). I would try to slow the decent the next time to around 2 hours. The rental company dropped us around 9:30am and we finished exactly at the return time at 4:30pm. We will definitely do this again!!!
3. Bachelor Loop

Slight different approach from last review. If you do the bachelor loop and it can be done so pretty easily if you go the back way which would be clockwise in about any vehicle. I did it in my Kia minivan with no problem.. If you have a 4x4 and preferably an ATV or UTV there is a cutoff on the bachelor loop that goes way up to an old mission. Its a great ride and can be very challenging in some places. Very rocky and difficulty in a few spots. In my UTV I had to reroute in a couple of places that I didn't feel comfortable with.. Some really deep pits in one small section. Great for ATV enthusiasts. I suggest stopping at the visitors center and getting a map and ask They warned me not to do a certain section as they had several riders hurt really bad over past few weeks and had to be lifted out. Stupid me I got the directions wrong and went right thru it, but wasn't really that bad if you don't do stupid.
