About
Waterfall Creek Trail #555 is a 2.9-mile route in Gunnison National Forest, connecting the Doubletop Trail #405 to the Cement Creek Trail #612. The trail descends approximately 1,710 feet from an elevation of 11,530 feet to 9,820 feet. Because the descent is steep and the surface is often rough and rutted, hikers typically travel downhill. The route passes through dense dark timber and crosses Waterfall Creek twice. The trail allows hiking, biking, horses, and dogs. Parking is available at the trailhead, though access requires driving on forest service roads. The trail is accessible year-round.
