Starsmore Visitor and Nature Center sits at the entrance to North Cheyenne Cañon Park. This great Visitor Center has exhibits about the area's geology, flora, fauna, and history, and runs programs throughout the year for people of all ages. There are also water fountains, trash cans, and restrooms here. The Visitor Center also marks the start of the Columbine Trail, a multi-use path that goes part way up the canyon.
