What to expect

Seven Falls is a series of seven cascading waterfalls in a natural box canyon in South Cheyenne Cañon, Colorado Springs. The falls have a total height of 181 feet and there are 224 steps on the staircase from the base of the falls to the peak. Visitors can view the scenic wonder of Seven Falls from either the top of the staircase or from the Eagle's Nest viewing platform, which can be accessed via elevator. The area surrounding the falls features Ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, Juniper, and Blue Spruce trees. Two hiking trails begin at the top of Seven Falls, including the Inspiration Point trail, which is a 1-mile-long winding trail that takes about one hour round trip, and a shorter trail to Midnight Falls. The falls are beautifully illuminated by colorful lighting in the evenings
