About

Down the Big Thompson Canyon on Highway 34, almost eight miles below town near Drake, the river drops over a set of small falls. People come for the falls and the quiet, and anglers fish the water around them. It's easy with kids, and it makes a good break on the drive down to the Front Range, or a short outing from Estes on a slow afternoon.
