On August 28th 2017, My partner and friend made the slightly strenuous hike four miles into the Weminuche Wilderness to experience the Fourmile Falls.  At about the 2.5 mile mark the valley view becomes spiritual and overwhelming. Shortly thereafter you catch a glimpse of a towering double waterfall directly ahead. These are the teasers that get you to Fourmile falls. We never made it to the companion double waterfall due to time constraints but we will DEFINATELY be back here. We left at 1pm which is not recommended.

From Hwy 160, turn north onto Lewis St. and an immediate left onto 5th St. Stay right onto Four Mile Road (CR400 – this becomes FS #645) driving north eight miles from Pagosa Springs. Turn right at the junction for four more miles to the trailhead. The trail follows Fourmile Creek with Eagle Mountain to the east. The trail is bordered by dense stands of aspen and spruce-fir. At mile three you will reach the Falls Creek Waterfall, which drops 300’ from the cliff above. At mile four you will reach Fourmile Falls on the right.
Spilling hundreds of feet over a precipice of dark volcanic rock, Fourmile Falls makes an interesting destination in the Weminuche Wilderness north of Pagosa Springs. Accessed by a short and easy hike, this spectacular feature of the rugged San Juan Mountains can be enjoyed by hikers of nearly all ages and abilities. The hike is approximately three miles each way. A relatively easy hike, the Falls are among the highest in this region.
