Maiden Falls - A Beautiful and Brutal Hike in West Clear Creek

Maiden Falls - A Beautiful and Brutal Hike in West Clear Creek

Yes, I used to have a video of this up and I took it down. I didn't really want to pack this place with a ton of people. But there have been a lot, I mean a LOT of those junk accounts online posting pictures of it with absolutely no information. The comments are enthusiastic because it's beautiful and unique. The problem is that doesn't give you any idea what you're getting into. And you're getting into a lot. When we went on this hike, we saw 3 three other people going in. 1 made it to the falls. We never saw the other two again.

So the intention of this video is to show you what you'll be getting into. If it is a little light on details, that's on purpose. If you're going to attempt this, you should have leveled up your research skills to the point where you don't need any more info than what is provided. I'm not doing this to gate keep. I'm doing this so you don't go before you've developed the skills needed to do this hike safely and successfully. Those skills come from practice and honestly they're not super complicated. They just take some time to build. I don't want to discourage you; I'd just prefer you not get into trouble.

All of that said, Maiden Falls (also known as Indian Maiden Falls) in West Clear Creek is beautiful. Everything I've seen in West Clear Creek is beautiful. But this is an especially scenic section, including the majority of the hike. So definitely worth checking out.

Just know what you're getting yourself into.

Oh, yeah. Watch out for rattlesnakes. I've literally stepped right over one down there.
