Purgatory Flats via Cascade Creek Trail
Purgatory Flats is a secluded high-mountain meadow nestled along the Animas River in the Weminuche Wilderness, accessible from the Cascade Creek trailhead near Purgatory Resort. The trail passes through old-growth spruce and fir forests before opening to a wide flat valley surrounded by towering peaks. The meadow offers excellent foreground for wildflower and mountain compositions.
