I found it amazing that one minute I am driving through a residential area and seemingly the next I am winding up a beautiful tree and snow covered canyon with beautiful views with a gurgling creek and a waterfall. Although the grounds were covered in snow, it was easy to see that this park has many hiking trails. The falls... More

We stopped looking for a place to fish (no fishing) but the kids had a blast checking out the different animal displays. They had alot of interactive displays for the kids. Great way for them to learn more about animals.

Easy access from Colorado Springs on paved roads. Great scenery, abundant wildlife, and varied trails provide opportunity for everyone to enjoy the outdoors. Helen Hunt Falls makes for a good stop along the road. Highly recommended for hiking and can be enjoyed even if you only have a couple free hours in Colorado Springs.

Canyon takes off from the city's western edge. Breath take from canyon floor and later, should you decide to take Gold Camp Road down, from above. When the pavement ends at the top there's a big parking area where you can get out and stretch your legs and do a little easy hiking along a mountain road that used to... More

We were part of a group that biked down the old railroad track. We started with first light and hit an amazing spot just as the sun came over the horizon. What a picture - mountains, shadows, city in the valley and a huge orange ball just lighting up the ski. Worth the ride because it is beautiful scernery.

So many great pictures and views to enjoy. The drive through the park is absolutely beautiful. This park was free to enter and has a gorgeous waterfall to check out as well.

This is a city park that is truly a gem. The park is national park quality, free, several great hikes, lovely picnic spots, areas for climbing and bouldering. This is really not to be missed if you are in the area (go here and garden of the gods). Make sure you take old gold camp road through the park on... More

My family and I visited the Seven Falls and North Cheyenne Canon Park on August 11, 2012. We went primarily to see the Falls, but, on the advice of our hotel concierge, we took a side trip to drive through the Park. I'm glad we took her advice. Admission to the park is free and you can drive through most... More
