This 75' waterfall can be found just below Glass Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. The maintained trail ends at its base, but more adventurous hikers will want to continue above the waterfall for fantastic views. This waterfall is not really a reason to do this hike, but it does add a little bit to the scenery experienced along the way.
