About

Cornet Falls is an 80-foot waterfall located in Telluride, Colorado. The trail begins at the north end of Aspen Street and covers approximately 0.2 to 0.6 miles round trip. The route is moderately difficult and steep, featuring loose soil, rock scrambling, and narrow sections with drop-offs. Hikers should wear sturdy shoes due to the terrain. The trail offers views of the Telluride Ski Resort and red rock canyon walls. Parking is available near the trailhead, though some visitors park at Carhenge and walk to the start. The hike is suitable for dogs on leashes, though the steepness may be challenging for young children. The best time to visit is from September through November, with the trail generally accessible between May and October.
