Ouzel Falls is a modest but scenic cascade waterfall in Colorado, falling 40 ft.

The falls are fed by Ouzel Creek / North St. Vrain Creek. You'll find it in Boulder, Colorado. It is protected within Rocky Mountain National Park (NPS).

This is a moderate hike waterfall: a longer day hike, roughly one to several miles each way. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 5.4 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Allenspark, the closest town.

When to go: Summer (June-September). Like most waterfalls, Ouzel Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
