Alluvial Fan

An easy, accessible trail in RMNP that explores a massive field of boulders left by a historic flood, offering a unique landscape to explore.

Walk through a powerful display of nature at the Alluvial Fan. A catastrophic dam break in 1982 sent a wall of water and rock careening down the valley, creating the unique landscape you see today. The short, paved trail is wheelchair accessible and perfect for all ages. Kids and adults alike will love scrambling over the giant boulders and enjoying the pretty cascades of the Roaring River.
