The Church Campo Trail is an easy-going hike near Durango Colorado that features waterfall views and is perfect for a fun family outing. While out hiking the trail, you will hike through open terrain and brush covered hills, before arriving at the site of Falls Creek Falls for some lovely views of the cascading water.
