Most people drive right past Nucla on their way to Telluride. We like to stop. The Hanging Flume is a century-old wooden water channel built into the face of a sheer canyon wall and it still looks like it shouldn't exist. This is what the Western Slope looks like when you leave the main road. Plenty of spots like this within a day trip of our place.

Colorado Waterfall Road Trip ~ A San Juan Mountain Adventure

If you love waterfalls, the San Juan Mountains might be one of the most underrated road trips in Colorado.

Within just a few hours of each other, you’ll find some of the most beautiful waterfalls in the entire state tucked into the forests, cliffs, and mountain passes around Ouray, Silverton, and Pagosa Springs.

Many are right off the road along the famous Million Dollar Highway, while others require short hikes through alpine forests or hidden canyons.

Some of our favorites include:

📍 Cascade Creek Falls
📍 Bear Creek Falls
📍 Box Canyon Falls
📍 Bridal Veil Falls

A few can be quick roadside stops.
Others are short adventures that lead to turquoise pools and canyon walls that tower around you.

Every one of them shows you why the San Juan Mountains are pure magic.

If you’re staying at Peaks, Passes & Canyons, this waterfall route makes an unforgettable day (or two) exploring some of Colorado’s most spectacular scenery. Every stay with us includes a customized adventure that will help you see the best of the area without the stress of planning and research.

✈️ Flying instead of driving? You’re going to love this airport!

One of the biggest perks of staying at Peaks, Passes & Canyons Retreat is how incredibly easy arrival day is. Montrose Regional Airport (MTJ) is minutes from the house and offers flights on Southwest, American, United, and Delta, with none of the stress of big-city airports.

Our personal favorite? Southwest. We love the nonstop flights from Dallas, which make getting here quick, easy, and hassle-free. 🙌

Why guests love MTJ:

• Fast, friendly TSA — lines move quickly
• Small, easy-to-navigate terminal
• Helpful, welcoming airport staff
• Quick baggage claim & rental car pickup

Great food + drinks right inside the airport:
🍺 Horsefly Brewing, a fantastic local brewery with two locations at the airport:
• Near baggage claim & rental cars
• Post-security near the gates
🥃 Shelter Distilling, near the gates for craft cocktails + great food

On-site rental cars for easy exploring:
Turo, Thrifty, Payless, Enterprise, Alamo, Dollar, Hertz & Budget

From landing ➝ luggage ➝ rental car ➝ relaxing at the house in about 15 minutes… it doesn’t get much better than that. ✨
