They had a great morning, catching a dozen fish between the two of them, on various spots up the Frying Pan. Shannon, as well as the rest of the staff were warm, and helpful, without any ego or attitude. They treated you like family.

We would definitely recommend this place if you're fishing in the area.

He assigned Justin to take us out for a morning of fishing on the Crystal River. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this young man! Justin was no pressure, no criticism, and very relaxed and laid back -just what we wanted! He taught us the 3 components of fly fishing, showed us the "do's and don'ts", and was so patient with us for 4 hours. According to Justin, we crushed it! - Caught lots of fish - rainbow, brown, cutthroat trout, and Rocky Mountain white fish. Such a fun and rewarding day! It was a joy to work with this group. We will definitely be back!!

I fished with Chris Kish 3 days on 2 separate occasions...once with my best friend who wasn't very…read moreexperienced and once with my son who is. We fished the Fork and the Colorado; 2 very different types of water and we caught the end of the Drake season on the Fork and was able to fish dries the entire day which was definitely a huge treat. I have been a fly fisherman since 1987 and have had more guides than one can count. I have fished the stretch of the Colorado between Glenwood Springs and Silt more than once but this was my first first experience with Chris. Other guides will fish what is typical for big fast river fishing...tight to the bank, slicks, those typical places where the trout should and do live. But not the big ones! We caught more than we could count and more got away than we could count as well. We were exhausted at the end of the 3 days. He works hard; he knows where his fish are; and if he doesn't think a particular pool has been productive enough, he'll row back up and we'll do it all over again! In other words, he gives you a full days worth of work. He has a great style that works well with the experienced as well as those who need to be coached. I thank Chris for working with me on my "pause". And most importantly, he wants to catch fish and wants to make his customers happy. His boat is comfortable and clean. And the only room for improvement if there is any are his lunches...I didn't like the curry chicken wrap (but that's just me). This guy is a star! We will fish together again.

Note: I detracted one star because all the picnic tables for day visitors have been removed to discourage that activity. The only tables in the park are for the camp sites. We pulled into an empty site, since we did not see tables elsewhere, to have a quick lunch. We got a talking to from one of the park employees that it was not permitted. We were nearly done with lunch so we finished quickly and removed ourselves, making sure the area was as we found it. We then parked up at the trailhead parking. It is a pleasant walk to the base of the falls. Then we headed up the stairs that take you behind the falls as well as to some caves. My husband and his brother did the hike up and around to the top. My sister-in-law and I found a nice shaded bench to enjoy the views while we waited for them to return. It was an overall good experience. I would go back.

Right from the moment we pulled into the parking lot, the sound of rushing water filled the air,…read moreand it didn't take long to find out why. The centerpiece of the park is this stunning trio of waterfalls--three streams of water pouring side by side over bright limestone cliffs, surrounded by the kind of lush greenery that feels almost tropical. It was like walking into a Colorado rainforest. Mist from the falls cooled the air, and everything around them felt alive--ferns, moss, chirping birds, and the occasional chipmunk darting across the path. The trails were surprisingly well maintained and easy to navigate. We started with the paved path that led right up to the base of the falls--perfect for just soaking in the view, and even wheelchair accessible. Then we took the Coyote Trail, which loops up around and behind the falls. That's where things got even more fun. The trail winds past a handful of small limestone caves, some of which you can crawl into and explore. One of them opened up into a surprisingly big cavern--we hadn't brought flashlights, but our phones did the trick, and the kids loved it. It felt like discovering secret chambers in a fantasy story. When we made it to the top of the falls, the view was totally worth the mild climb. You could look down and see all three cascades in full, framed by trees and cliffs. And with the mist rising in the sunlight, it felt absolutely magical--like something out of a painting. What I loved most was how much this park offered in such a compact space. Waterfalls, caves, trails, wildlife, creeks, picnic spots--everything felt close and accessible, but never crowded or rushed. It was peaceful, beautiful, and so well kept. Honestly, it's one of the best hidden gems I've stumbled upon in Colorado.

The trail is very clear, it's basically stairs going up for the 1.3 miles - 8 bridges total. I wouldn't go on a weekend or holiday or really any time other than off times - because even then, it was busy and hard to navigate around groups with such a narrow trail. There is a sprouting rock trail to the left of the hanging lake with a small trail leading to another waterfall coming straight out of the mountain. Overall, you can see why it is so busy - oh also, you have to have a parking reservation so make sure you sign up ahead
