North Clear Creek Falls

This 100 ft. waterfall is close to Colorado 149 on the Silver Thread Scenic Byway. To access the falls turn onto FR 510 from the northern entrance and head south for .5 miles. Turn left into the North Clear Creek Falls Observation Site, from there it's a short walk to the falls.

Being out in the open this waterfall is best shot in shadow or under an overcast sky. Spring will have the heaviest water flow but the later summer flow has the nicest detail for a photograph. Make sure to use a polarizing filter and possible ND filter to lengthen the exposure.
