Seven Falls of Colorado SpringsHint: You can print a coupon here The land that Seven Falls is on was owned by James Hull. He appreciated the beauty of the canyon and falls and thought that others would like to visit. In 1885 he built a road and some stairs (yes, they have updated the stairs!) With the help of his sons, he took visitors up the canyon for 25 cents per person. Helen Hunt Jackson visited Seven Falls in 1874. She was buried at the top of Cheyenne Peak, but her grave was later moved. You can climb to her original grave site at the top of the falls. You can climb 185 stairs to the Eagle's Nest, which is across from the waterfall. If you're not feeling energetic you can take an elevator to the Eagle's Nest. Even if you don't take the elevator, you should walk along the hall and see the exhibits about Seven Falls. Here's the view:
For a really unique experience, go to the falls at night when they are lit up in different colors.
We even saw an albino chipmunk:
In the summer there are Indian dances performed every hour on a stage near the stairs. Leashed pets are OK, and you are asked to pick up after them. No picnicking is allowed. There are two gift shops with themed souvenirs, and you can grab a snack at the Ponderosa Cafe. There is only one restroom which is located in the parking lot.
