The Grottos parking area is just past Weller Campground on the right
The path first crosses a bridge over the Roaring Fork River
Downstream from the bridge, the river is temporarily calm
The trail climbs a little before reaching the ice caves
The aspens are beginning to turn color in late September
The ice caves are deeply-eroded cracks in the rock
The ice caves sometimes have ice in them into the summer
The top of the trail
Many beautiful cascades tumble down the gorge
The rocks have been shaped by water
Yellow aspen trees
The Devil's Punchbowl is just downstream from The Grottos
Independence Pass road is narrow in spots, even below The Grottos
