We took Mark Morrison's advice (from his book) an chose the Baskins Creek Trail for our afternoon waterfall hike after Rainbow Falls. It's on the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail also along with Grotto Falls which we skipped when we saw all the cars parked at the trail head. Mark said there probably wouldn't be anyone else on this trail and he was right. There are 2 trails from the loop road - we chose the 2nd stop which is the lower trail. I think it's #10 on the map if you get one at the start of the loop. Parking is on the left and if you go too far, you'll cross a bridge and see a old building on the right. The trail is 1.6 miles and moderate with a combination of ascents and descents. At just over a mile, the trail crosses Baskins Creek to the left. Soon after that, the trail to the falls turns to the right and NW - the upper Baskins Creek Trail continues south and back to the other parking area.

The falls is 25' in 2 levels and is in a beautiful secluded setting with moss covered rocks and logs. The ledge seperating the levels is accessible from the right side of the falls.

The plants in the lower right of the above photo are a group of Jack in the Pulpits shown in the next photo. I think that's the biggest grouping I have seen.

The afternoon was partly cloudy - during the sunny parts we were treated to a rainbow in the fall's spray zone...

Here's another shot of the falls...
