エルパソ郡周辺のおすすめ滝ハイキング＆ウォーキング

Fantastic hike, each bridge makes a nice goal to reach. Watch out for bikers as some steep descents can cause unprotected collusion. After the seventh bridge you can continue farther for greater challenges

Mays Peak is located high up in North Cheyenne Canyon. This 8283-foot summit is nestled in the foothills of Pikes Peak and is relatively quiet in comparison to others in the area. The top is sparsely treed and offers fantastic views over the canyon and of the city.

The middle section of the popular Columbine Trail is cut into the hillside between the hairpin turns of the main road and provides fantastic views across the canyon and of the large rock formations that comprise this area.

The lower section of the Columbine Trail winds through the Cheyenne Canyon by the creek. This peaceful section of trail is a great for folks wanting to explore the canyon before it gets super steep and sustained. You get great views of the towering rock formations and are kept cool by the trees and the creek.

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.

The Seven Bridges Trail is a lovely out-and-back trail that follows North Cheyenne Creek and crosses, as the name indicates, seven bridges. This scenic hike, which is only open to hikers, climbs steadily upwards in the trees so its a great option in the hotter months. The trail eventually takes you into Jones Park where theres plenty more trail options if you wish to lengthen your outing.

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.

Beautiful views of the forest and the mountains from this path.
