Colorado Springs, CO
The Broadmoor Seven Falls is a series of seven cascading waterfalls of South Cheyenne Creek in South Cheyenne Cañon, Colorado Springs, Colorado. It is a privately owned tourist attraction since it was opened in the early 1880s. Wikipedia
Seven Falls is located in Colorado Springs along the Front Range.[2] It is in a natural box canyon in South Cheyenne Cañon.[3][4] The entrance to South Cheyenne Cañon is about 4.5 miles (7.2 km) southwest of downtown Colorado Springs on Cheyenne Boulevard.[5] The South Cheyenne Cañon road to Seven Falls has been called "The Grandest Mile of Scenery" in Colorado.[6] The falls are located in a 1,000 feet (300 m) granite canyon. Ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, Juniper, and Blue Spruce are found in the Seven Falls park.[7]
(Below): Just inside the entrance to the Seven Falls property is the Pillars of Hercules, which are 900 feet (270 m) high from the floor of the canyon. Across from the Pillars of Hercules is the George Washington profile. At this point, the canyon walls are just 41 feet (12 m) apart.[4][8]
We took an elevator thru the rock, up, to the very top.
Here are the Falls. You can't make out the landing with people on it, dead center in the picture.
