Why You’ll Love Ouzel Falls

Ouzel Falls is one of the park's most beloved waterfalls. Named after the American dipper, also known as the water ouzel, a small bird often spotted along rushing mountain streams, the falls are tucked away in the remote Wild Basin area of the park. The combination of cascading waterfalls, towering pines, and the sound of North St. Vrain Creek makes this hike a favorite for women who enjoy peaceful forest trails and stunning waterfall scenery.
