Lime Creek Rd & Adrenaline Falls

Lime Creek Rd is a dirt road that runs between Durango and Silverton, Colorado and begins and ends at Hwy 550. The road is suitable for high-clearance vehicles with durable tires. End-to-end the drive is ~11.2 miles, and I drove it north to south.

The trail to Adrenaline Falls is short but steep and unmaintained. It was more of a scramble than a trail in most places, but was easy to follow. The trailhead is not marked and is not obvious.
