Treasure Falls drops about 105 feet into Falls Creek in the San Juan National Forest, roughly 15 miles northeast of Pagosa Springs along U.S. Route 160. It is viewable from a roadside pullout, with a short, steep spur trail climbing to observation decks near the base.
At 105 ft, it stands above roughly 75% of the 775 documented falls in this guide.
Its water comes from Fall Creek. You'll find it in Mineral, Colorado. It is protected within San Juan National Forest (USFS).
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. A short walk gets you to the viewpoint, so it works for most casual visitors and families. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 1 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Pagosa Springs, the closest town.
When to go: late spring to early summer. Expect the strongest flow in spring and after big storms, with a quieter trickle by late summer; confirm current conditions with the land manager before committing to the drive.
