Photo Ops:
The 283-foot cascading waterfall is one of the most photogenic in the state. Upper Fish Creek Falls is worth the somewhat strenuous hike. The spray from the falls creates a micro climate that encourages summer wildflower growth, providing many photo ops, and the aspen groves offer some fine fall foliage.
