Twilight Creek (Durango)

Skip this one. It looked better on Google Earth, but the trail-less approach and choked creek return make it not worthwhile. It's also uphill both ways. It does have a small, south-facing catchment and will likely come into season sooner than others.

Drive Old Lime Creek Rd 3.8 miles from Highway 550. Park before the dirt bumpy road turns north to parallel Lime Creek. Hike 1.1 miles -940ft on an old overgrown trail down to cross Lime Creek. Hike up the trail-less hillside to the north of Twilight Creek for 1 miles +1700ft to the top of the series of waterfalls.

Twilight Creek starts with a rappel through rock jumbles, a narrows and a fanned out section. A 200ft/60m rope should be sufficient. The rest of the short waterfall sequence is at a lower angle and also contains several rock piles. Beware of sticking ropes when pulling them down. A second rappel may be required. Trees and large boulders appear abundant enough. This has not been rappelled. Descent time listed here is a guess.
