Adams Falls and East Inlet Trail map

The East Inlet Trail to Adams Falls is one of Grand Lake’s most iconic trails, and while the trailhead is located in the Town it is still a part of Rocky Mountain National Park. Hikers will be delighted with the raging waterfall, winding Colorado River and peaceful meadow views. Going about 1 mile up the trail will showcase an incredible view of the Colorado River winding through a meadow framed by Mount Baldy (Mt. Craig). This year round trail can also be accessed during the winter by snowshoe, winter boots or nordic skis.
