    Default Glad to know that I'm not the only one who does that!

    Copying the photo again so I can look at it on this page....

    Heh, heh. Question: How far from a paved road does one have to walk to see this particular waterfall?

    Default This clue should hook you....

    It's maybe a quarter mile to a half mile down a trail from the parking lot where you paid your $5 to the nice person from the USFS.

    Default Yes, that is tantalizing...

    Yes, it will hook me -- in due time -- In the meantime, I have to go back to work to ensure that we can keep the "lights on" here for this forum....

    Default North Clear Creek Falls?

    It might be North Clear Creek Falls, and the nearest town would be Creede, Colorado. --- Nope, it's not that one either....

    Maybe someone else will have a clue?

    Default Not me I'm afraid

    I thought it might be the Smith River in California - which runs alongside U.S. 199 toward Jedediah Smith Redwoods S.P. - but I was clearly wrong!

    Default Getting close...

    It IS in Colorado, and "creek" is part of the name.

    Nearest town is well known for something other than the falls.

    Default Steam[ed] fish !

    The nearest town is Steamboat springs [famous for it's hot springs] and the falls are known as Fish creek falls.

    At least I think so ?


    ** Excellent work! It does seem to fit all of the clues -- Mark (it's also where Strawberry Park is)***

    Nope, but your pretty warm. I am also looking for the name of this section of highway.
