There are a huge number of waterfalls in this area, thanks to its many tributaries and dramatic elevation change. Note that this is a seasonal waterfall and is usually most powerful in the late spring to early summer months. Do not stray off the trail and you can’t miss it! Tread lightly up this path for around 15 minutes. On the right side of the road, you will see a small trail that follows the creek upstream. Park here, but please don’t block traffic or park directly on the bridge. The road is relatively wide, and there is available parking for maybe one or two vehicles nearby. Here you will reach a paved bridge that crosses over Coal Creek. Descend onto the dirt road and drive for a little less than 2 miles. Continue beyond Coal Bank Pass and look for the north entrance to Lime Creek on your right. To reach this waterfall, drive north towards Silverton on Highway 550. In the 1800s, this hairy stretch of land was the only way to access Silverton from Durango. Lime Creek is a 12-mile-long dirt road popularly used by jeeps and ATVs.
