Centennial is the last town before Highway 130 climbs into the Snowy Range, and both falls on this page ask for a drive. Big Creek Falls earns its moderate rating, 4.8 miles out and back with 600 feet of climbing, dogs allowed. Poudre Falls asks almost nothing, four tenths of a mile at a pullout above the Cache la Poudre in Colorado, and dogs can come there as well. Snowmelt drives both, so June and early July are when the water is loudest.

Located at 41.3005°N, -106.1355°W
