Deadwood Gulch Cascades

The Deadwood Gulch Cascades at San Juan National Forest near Silverton, Colorado is an easy 0.1-mile out-and-back walk that features small but scenic waterfalls within Deadwood Gulch, located along the Million Dollar Highway.

This is not a hike but rather a short roadside stop to take-in the views of the scenic Deadwood Gulch Cascades. The waterfalls can best be seen from the edge of the creek, which technically can be viewed from the parking area as well - hence this roadside stop is universally accessible and great for anyone looking for a short stop along the Million Dollar Highway. Deadwood Gulch is surrounded by evergreens that tower over the creek's rushing white water that runs down the mountain. During Spring, the freezing creek water makes for quite the scenic stop as the gulch is full to the brim with snow melt running down the mountain.

After enjoying the cascades, the short walk leads back to your car -- and onward to more stops along the Million Dollar Highway.
