Description
Mystic Falls is an illustrious and magical spot. This waterfall was so hard for me to find, I swear the Telluride, Colorado locals intentionally mislead tourists, to keep it hidden away all to themselves. I’m not going to be the first to blame them, either.
Relying on information I’d pieced together like a treasure map, I set off one October morning. After a bit of off-roading, a couple of river and stream crossings, some steep hiking and of course a pair of soaked jeans were all that was standing between me and this vantage point. I set up my gear and waited patiently on a small bit of riverbank situated nearby; I knew the steep walls of the canyon would only catch light for a few minutes each day, and when things finally came together, I knew I had captured an emblematic Colorado landscape. It is an honor to help others experience the thundering roar, and the elegant and silky texture of this alpine river in “Mystic.” There is nothing like the oddly calming cacophony and solitude of an alpine waterfall, and of the dozens I’ve explored, this is certainly a favorite.
