Limited parking can be expected on weekends. However, during the week, when school is in session, get there early. As we were parking we saw two students arriving their car and then walk down to the school. This should not be allowed.

If you love to hike you'll love this trail.
Many others will likely join you on a weekend. Midweek - it is not crowded. About 2.5 miles to the Booth Creek falls. Another 2.5 or so to Booth Lake. Pretty good elevation gain - so be prepared. The hike can get hot. If you are early in the morning -...

If you are looking for a tough hike with all the views-waterfall, cliffs, panoramic, fields, lake-then you will love this hike. I would definitely recommend going all the way to the lake (about 8 mile round trip) as you see beautiful views as you hike through the mountain range. It is a strenuous hike at the altitude, but if you...

Great hike and nice way to get some exercise. May be crowded, initially a little steep but well worth the effort. Great views back towards East Vail. Nice when the leaves are changing.

Great easy hike except some scrambling at the very end up rocky terrain. I recommend going earlier then it's cooler especially if traveling with your furry friends. Bring lots of water for those non altitude travelers.

2. immediately after you pass the small parking lot the dirt trail starts right at the sign displaying the trail map..that is the beginning of the trail. (we thought the paved roadway was the trail at first)
3. If you live in a low elevation city...

My family of 4 novice hikers had our hands full. This hike is not for leisure hikers- we are a relatively fit family with a 10 year old daughter. It took us about 2 hours to make it to the falls with a number of short stops along the way. Make sure everyone has plenty of water to last both...
