Helen Hunt Falls is an attractive waterfall deep in North Cheyenne Canon. You get fantastic views of them right off the road! There is also a fantastic small Visitor Center at the base of them. Although these falls are amazing all year round, they are actually particularly spectacular in the late fall and winter when they are frozen. As long as road conditions are safe, winter is a fantastic time to visit North Cheyenne Canon if you're looking for some solitude and beauty.
