Your Visit
Seven Falls is located in a natural box
canyon. It is the
only waterfall in Colorado listed in the National Geographic list of
International waterfalls. The one-mile drive winds along South
Cheyenne Creek between steep cliffs covered with pines that at the
narrowest are only 44 feet with interesting rock formations. The falls
are best viewed from the Eagles Nest Observation platform
accessed by the mountain elevator located inside the mountain. One can
also take the 224-step stairway.
