La Plata Falls
La Plata Falls (near Buena Vista) is a dramatic waterfall framed by steep canyon walls and lodgepole/pine forest. Shoot the plunge for power, then search for side viewpoints to capture misty cascades and leading lines through the trees. Best light is morning for cleaner contrast; overcast or post-rain can boost texture and rainbow mist. Trails can be muddy—wear grippy shoes; parking is limited and best reached early on weekends.
