We went on a hike, recently, to Maxwell Falls in Evergreen, CO. It was a destination we'd not yet gotten into but it was definitely an experience. The following is my review....
Parking: It's not very plentiful so if you're planning to go, go early.
Location: It's quite easy to find with Google Maps and my phone did just fine with GPS signal the whole route.
Restrooms: Zero...zilch....go potty before coming
ON the hike: Bring lots of water. It's a pretty shady route so sunscreen as usual but don't worry too much about added sun exposure. It's a pretty steep haul on the way up but the way back down is pretty easy. It's just over 4 miles round trip.
But seriously.... Watch out for poo. No, not from random wild animals but from inconsiderate people that leave it on the trail while walking their dogs.
Overall, it's a beautiful hike and not too rough or time consuming. The falls are pretty, though I think they'd be even more glorious in the spring when the water level is higher from the snowpack melting.
