The ABCs — Adrenaline, Baker’s Bridge and Cascade — are southern Colorado’s natural water parks:
- Adrenaline is tucked off Old Lime Creek Road. A short, steep hike takes you to an approximately 18-foot-tall waterfall thundering into a deep pool. You can climb up beside the falls, perch anywhere from 15 to 40 feet above the water and jump from where you feel comfortable. http://ropewiki.com/Adrenaline_Falls
- Baker’s Bridge is located where Old Shalona Road crosses the Animas River. It’s where Paul Newman and Robert Redford jump from a cliff into a river in “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.” (Through editing, they land in a different river, not the Animas, in the film.) Jumping from this bridge isn’t just dangerous — it’s illegal. Instead, people climb down to nearby cliffs of various heights — as high as 17 feet — and jump from there. http://ropewiki.com/Bakers_Bridge
- Cascade isn’t just one jump. It’s a run through a slot canyon, with mountain runoff providing a series of natural water slides and waterfalls to jump. Once you enter Cascade, you’re committed to being in cold water for about half an hour. http://ropewiki.com/Cascade_Creek_(Durango_Waterpark)
